FormscanBy Alan Magee - MOUNT FRISCO had Figaroc seven lengths back in third with Pats Choice well adrift in fifth when runner-up to the progressive Whiskeywealth in a similar Listed handicap chase at Gowran Park earlier this month. The selection, who won both over fences and hurdles in January, has been given a typical aggressive campaign by John Ryan and was far from disgraced behind Mister Policeman last time in a Grade 3 novice chase at Thurles. Hurricane Cliff has been raised 9lb after an ultimately clearcut win at Limerick where a number of rivals fell in the straight, while Skippin Court comes here fresh after a creditable effort at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.
