FormscanBy John O'Riordan - FRIAR HOGAN(5), who looks well handicapped off a mark of 94, can record a first career success. In with every chance when hampered and carried out at the last at Limerick in May, the Donal Hassett-trained gelding returned to that same venue to finish second on his penultimate start. While the son of Crystal Ocean failed to justify favouritism at Kilbeggan last time, that tight track may not have suited. On the balance of his recent form, he is worth forgiving that blip. Pure Logic has been in decent form of late and has to hold strong claims. Land Of Punt is one that catches the eye on his first start for the Ian Donoghue stable.
