Verdict

FRONTAL ASSAULT gained a deserved first success over fences at Galway last time and, having finished runner-up in the Irish Grand National in April, appeals as the type who could have more to offer in major staying handicap chases. The 7-y-o is taken to land the prize, though heading the list of potential dangers are Lifetime Ambition, Egality Mans and Flash de Touzaine.
