Formscan - Last year's impressive winner Frodon is bound to have his supporters as he goes in search of a remarkable 20th career win, but he's 11 now and with the ground more testing than ideal, he may be worth taking on. Stablemate Threeunderthrufive looks a viable alternative after wind surgery, but preference is for Dan Skelton's ASHTOWN LAD. The nine-year-old has gone well fresh in the past and showed his class last season when winning the Becher Chase from just 4lb lower.
