Verdict
Nietzsche only beat Tonto's Spirit a short-head at Perth in July. The pair have had contrasting fortunes since as the former unseated his rider at the first at Kelso last month while the latter jumped well and made all at Cartmel a few weeks earlier. River Frost lost his way over hurdles and didn’t look a natural chaser on his first run for a new yard at Southwell. SAINT FREULE won twice over hurdles at Hexham last season. He has also won between the flags so should do well in this sphere and is getting 15lb from the two previous winners taking into account Blair Campbell’s claim.
