FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Although the winner scored with any amount in hand, it was still a good effort by FRONTAL ASSAULT to be third to subsequent Cheltenham bumper winner Ferny Hollow at Fairyhouse in February. The second that day, On Eagles Wings, won next time at Limerick and although the selection disappointed when a beaten favourite at Clonmel when last seen in March, he gets the vote to leave that behind and make a winning debut over flights. Gordon Elliott also runs O’Connell Street, acquired for 22,000 pounds after having been runner-up in a bumper and over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Gua Du Large is an interesting contender but is declared to run at Fairyhouse on Saturday while Cask Mate had some very useful form at the backend of 2017 but has a massive lay-off to overcome.
