FormscanBy Gary Carson - FRALIMONTI BILBERY comes here in good form and has experience over the ‘banks’ in point-to-points. He won a winners’ event in January before two runner-up efforts against decent sorts, most notably chasing home Vital Island at Lingstown on his penultimate outing. Last year’s winner Knockiel Synge was 10 lengths behind the selection then and has to carry a penalty in this. Course form is always a big plus though and he has to be respected. Cloudy Tuesday won over the banks at Knockanard on his penultimate run and is another that has to come into calculations. He also carries a penalty.
