Front Man the one to beat

FRONT MAN is a hopeful nap choice to land the Carroll Cuisine Premium Ham Beginners Chase at Kilbeggan tonight, on a moderate programme which offers little cause for optimism.

Caroline Hutchinson’s seven-year-old is at least going the right way, has a reasonable amount of ability and seems to stay well enough.

Successful in a two and a half mile maiden hurdle at Thurles in March, the selection performed with promise first time over fences on this track last month.
