Fri 24th Jul

Formscan By Shane Redmond - FRIAR HOGAN (4) can't be far off recording a first success. He had worked his way into a challenging position when carried out at the second-last hurdle at Limerick in May, and returned to the same course at the beginning of this month to chase home Global Skies, form that reads quite well in the context of this race. Whispering Willow has held her form since scoring at Punchestown in May while Barrogstown Girl has proved herself on the Flat and might be considered on her handicap hurdle debut.
