Nine horses have been declared for the Frank Fitzsimmons Memorial 2m 7f Hunters Chase on Friday evening.
Due off at 19:50, the €10,000 contest is headed by recent course and distance winner My Oaklahome, who was successful around this track in a similar contest just a fortnight ago for David O’Brien, the six-year-old is set to be ridden by Richie Deegan on this occasion.
The Willie Murphy – trained Crutches Lad was third in the same contest a two weeks ago and James Kenny retains the partnership on the dual point winner this season, who should give a good account of himself.
Hi Murphy has been a very consistent sort for the McParlan’s this season and if the son of Gamut reproduces his recent Cork Hunter Chase form he could have a chance here with Declan Lavery set to take the mount.
The Richard O’Keeffe – trained Vital Island ran a big race over the banks at Punchestown and could be interesting, while Pyrios comes into the contest in good form having won a maiden at Loughanmore last weekend.
Krisquin and Is This It are both consistent sorts in the point-to-point sphere, while Danjaman and Captain Commander complete the line-up.
