Touch Of Frost is running well enough to make a bold bid in this company. He got outpaced on fast going over slightly shorter at Limerick before finishing strongly so this trip and ground can enable him to go close. Fisherman's Blues' second to Port Douglas at Leopardstown last June would be easily good enough for this but he hasn't progressed from that and BAINNE (NAP) looks the one to be on. Twice placed in handicaps on testing ground early last month, he since run in much stronger company and wasn't beaten far in a very tough handicap at the Curragh on Saturday. Emperor Bob's huge weight is reduced by Donagh O'Connor's claim but he hasn't won since his debut at Dundalk in 2014.
