Formscan By John O'Riordan - Off the mark on his penultimate start at Wexford, HIT THE FRAME can regain the winning thread. The John Flavin trained gelding made all on that occasion, staying on strongly once challenged approaching two out. Although unable to follow up at Killarney last time, the six-year-old son of Passing Glance ran a solid race to finish fourth. If getting into a nice jumping rhythm here, he should be hard to pass. An improver over hurdles since his last run in a chase, the Tony Martin trained Aurea Fortuna holds every chance. Having finished second over flights here in December, he obviously handles the track. Sligo third He Fitz In looks best of the remainder.
