Formscan By Alan Magee - Frankie John beat LOVE ME TENDER (5) by just over five lengths at the Galway Festival and followed up by accounting for Vicar Street in a Grade 3 over this trip at Gowran earlier this month. The Denis Hogan-trained gelding now bids for a hat-trick but may not confirm placings with Love Me Tender who impressed subsequently over 2m6f at Listowel. Chanceawetmorning also carries a 6lb penalty after being left clear at the last to easily beat Sir Allen at Punchestown. Fruit De Mer was second in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham and is a very interesting recruit to fences, while I Started A Joke is another switching to fences in what should prove a fascinating novice chase.
