BRYONY Frost landed another notable success as Frodon gamely won the Grade 2 Monet’s Garden Old Roan Limited Handicap Chase at Aintree.

Paul Nicholls’ chaser, who is still only six, was having his first outing since a wind operation in the summer.

Racing off top weight from a mark of 159, he took up the running with fully half a mile to run but looked a sitting duck at one stage.

Javert, Theo and eventually Cloudy Dream, who had made several jumping errors on the way round, all closed in to challenge.

However, they could not get on terms with Frodon who found plenty for pressure for Frost, who also won a big pot on him at Cheltenham in January.

The 9/2 winner held on by a length and a quarter from Javert, with Cloudy Dream third on his first start for Donald McCain.
