Mount Frisco2(ex 7)
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: Michael Kenneally(5)| T: J P Ryan| OR:  102
7-y-o who cashed in off much-reduced mark to end lengthy losing run in 9-runner handicap chase at Gowran (19.3f, heavy, 8/1) 2 days ago, finding a second wind late on to get back up. Consistency not his strong point these days but respected nevertheless under a penalty.

Landed gambles when scoring over hurdles at Fairyhouse (20f) in January and on his chasing bow in 11-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (20.7f, heavy) 27 days ago. Sure to improve so very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid.

Forecasts

Shanroe Act (9/4), Mount Frisco (11/4), Westoftignes (4/1), Our Boy Rocky (6/1), Favori Logique (7/1), Hello Jack (12/1), Shanroe Nelson (14/1), Smackwater Jack (25/1), Lovely Reaction (25/1), Agent Tequila (33/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but OUR BOY ROCKY rates the pick of the weights on the back of a very good second here last month so looks the way to go. Hello Jack could emerge as the main danger now refitted with his usual headgear, while hat-trick seeking Shanroe Act and chasing debutant Westoftignes also need considering. Smackwater Jack completes the shortlist.
