RIVER FROST (3.10 Wincanton, nap) can leave his rivals out in the cold.
The lightly-raced five-year-old was trained on the Flat in France and has gone from strength to strength since moving to Alan King. He had luck on his side at Kempton last time when his only challenger fell at the last.
He may have won anyway but he looked likely to appreciate this half-mile longer trip.
SCOOBY (nb) can doo in the 2.45 at Towcester.
He ran a cracker off this mark at Bangor last time and will go well on today’s heavy ground.
RIDE THE LIGHTNING (treble) to victory in the 7.30 at Chelmsford. He is up just 1lb for his Wolverhampton win and will be suited by the step up to 1m6f.
