Race preview
Highland Frolic gained a breakthrough success in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton recently, but Milton Harris' gelding may prove worth taking on now returned to handicap company. GERARD MENTOR was impressive when romping home over C&D by 18 lengths on his penultimate start in November and he could take some stopping if freshened up by a winter break. A case can also be made for the in-form Force De Frap.
