FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Having shown some promise in point-to-points last year, HIT THE FRAME showed his first bit of sparkle under Rules when second in a 16-runner handicap at Roscommon earlier this month. The fitting of blinkers had a positive effect on John Flavin’s charge who was only overhauled on the run to the final fence having tried to make all. Similarly positive tactics are likely to be employed here and the six-year-old is less exposed than most of his rivals. Dawn Escape was a creditable fourth in a higher grade contest over course and distance last time and should go well in this company. Movie King shaped well after a lay-off when placed over 2m4f here in July. %0A%0A
