Another interesting contest where several have claims and RIVER FROST is taken to come home in front. Alan King's charge is very much going the right way and this step up in trip is a positive as he tries to defy a 4lb rise. Tornado In Milan is very consistent and may take advantage if the selection does not prove up to the task, while others with claims are Copain De Clase, Clondaw Shine and McKenzie's Friend. 1. River Frost 2. Tornado In Milan 3. Copain De Classe
