A 300,000gns purchase, it would be no surprise if Father Frost proved good enough on his racecourse debut. He has a couple of fancy entries and is preferred to stablemate Shark Island. Frozen Lake also makes more appeal than his stable companion Foolish despite running as though something was amiss at Galway in September. But he finished a long way behind fourth-placed TADAANY on that occasion and the latter gets the nod in this given a couple of winners have come out of that race. Captain Power and Laharde are others to note.
