From Frost was second over 2m6f here on Friday after winning over 3m at Gowran but this looks much too short. Chebsey Beau has a lengthy absence to overcome but Baraboy should be thereabouts again as he bids for as four-timer. Barry Murtagh's five-year-old has looked a reformed character lately and is worth a try in this higher grade. First-time headgear could bring about some improvement in Restraint of Trade while Announcement was quite highly tried after winning at Leicester in November. ANTON DOLIN is a bit of a character but this quirky course might help his concentration levels and he could go close if his partner can keep him focused on the long run for home.
