Forecasts

Frodon (4/5), Mister Fisher (15/8), Born Survivor (13/2), Militarian (40/1)

Having failed to complete the last twice, MISTER FISHER will need to produce a more assured round of jumping in order to master the spring-heeled Frodon round here. That said, the 7-y-o barely touched a twig when scoring at Cheltenham in December and, if able to reproduce that form, he could prove more than a match for Frodon, who had a tough race in the Gold Cup. Born Survivor is third choice.
