FRIARY ROCK bounced back to his best trying 2m for the first time over fences when winning under this rider here in November and remains on a nice mark having won off 1 lb higher at Perth in May. Upagainstit and Hold Onto The Line both shaped as if better for their comeback runs so rate the main threats.
