Verdict

No Altior, but this is still a cracking contest despite the headline act missing, and it offers his stablemate TOP NOTCH a chance to repeat his win in the race last year. He might not be the biggest around but his heart certainly is, and he answered all of Daryl Jocob's calls to win Huntingdon's Peterborough Chase on his latest start. Kauto Riko was closing in late on him there but he'd done the donkey work between three out and the last, and was entitled to get a bit tired. Frodon will be no pushover and this small field offers him a good chance to boss things from the front, but he does need to put a couple of sub-par efforts this season behind him.
  1. Top Notch
  2. Frodon
  3. Kauto Riko
