FormscanBy John O'Riordan - HIT THE FRAME can record a second win over course and distance. Making all to shed his maiden tag here last August, the Johnny Flavin-trained gelding is sure to be sharper for a recent comeback run at Down Royal last month. The Passing Glance gelding has almost certainly been laid out for this meeting and, given Darragh O'Keeffe is one of the best judges of pace in the country, the booking of the Cork man on the confirmed front runner is highly encouraging. North of Nashville, who ran well here when fourth last month should appreciate stepping back up in distance, while Tell Nobody Nothin looks best of the rest.
