Race preview
FRODON has proved a grand servant to all involved over the years and this looks a golden opportunity for the popular veteran to gain a fantastic 20th success under Rules. The conditions of this race suit the Paul Nicholls inmate favourably and he should take all the beating. Quick Wave failed to justify favouritism when pulling up in the Welsh National last month, but it's too soon to be writing the mare off. Cape Gentleman is another threat now returned to chasing.
