FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Dual bumper winner FRIARY ROAD debuts over jumps and will be suited by easing ground conditions. Out of Listed-bumper winner, he failed to win on the Flat and was slowly away when disappointing last time but nonetheless has ability and will be well schooled. Three-time Flat winner Royal Approval debuts for new connections over jumps having been bought for 48,000gns last July, but would prefer a sound surface. Powerful was controversially beaten at Kilbeggan in April, where veterinary evidence played a ‘very significant factor’ in the stewards deciding to merely note explanations. That form is solid but he returns following a summer’s break. Consistent front-runner Hillhead Runner has place claims.
