Race preview
MOUNT FRISCO handles testing ground well and gets the vote to make it three wins from four starts this year. The selection won in good style at Tramore on New Year's Day and again put up a fine front-running performance when reverting to hurdles at Limerick last time. Junot is another interesting five-year-old and tackles fences for the first time after he was just denied in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last month. Mick Charlie has won two of his last four starts over hurdles and the lightly raced 12-year-old is having just his fifth run here over fences, while Dundaniel has two point-to-points and a hunter chase to his credit and has been placed twice in handicaps over varying trips.
