FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - FRIARY GOLD (a little out of the handicap) is now listed with a 96-rating over hurdles, after a win at Killarney last week. He competes here off 87 and he should be very competitive with just nine stone twelve on his back. The Mountain High gelding hasn’t always had the happiest of experiences over the larger obstacles but he was point-to-pointing as early as December 2016 so he’s certainly had schooling in this discipline for long enough. Thisonesforollie was ‘robbed’ late on at Kilbeggan last time. She got three pounds for that three parts of a length defeat to Maureen’s Star. She’ll likely be there or thereabouts again. Some of the rest of these need to bounce back to form. Stamp Your Feet could do so, beginning for Enda Bolger. Rocky Court also has a new trainer in Dermot McLoughlin.
