FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A dual winner over hurdles at this track, MOUNT SHENSHAN(8) can exploit a lower rating over fences. While she has yet to open her account over the larger obstacles, the Tom Mullins-trained mare has reached the frame on a few occasions and returning to her favoured venue could see her make the breakthrough. Hit The Frame was an early casualty at Ballinrobe last time but had some fair form in handicap chases last season. With Danny Mullins a positive booking, it would be no surprise to see the gelding produce an improved performance. Wing Back is one to keep a close eye on in the pre-race betting market.
