FormscanBy Gary Carson - FRANSICAN ROCK really seemed to appreciate the step up in trip when winning cosily at Thurles last month and may be able to follow up now tried in handicap company. The Fame And Glory gelding had been knocking on the door in some hot maiden hurdles before getting off the mark over just shy of three miles. The ground will be very different now but he has run well in testing conditions before. Run For Pat won well at Fairyhouse last time and has to be respected despite his 8lb hike. Waittillitellyou chased home Run For Pat last time and has to considered on revised terms. West Breeze takes a step up in trip now after his win at Clonmel last month and he has to be respected as well.
