Formscan - BARRIER PEAKS proved a different proposition when coasting home over 2m5f at Exeter earlier in the month and, despite a 10lb hike in the ratings, there could be more to come from the David Pipe inmate. Solid form is thin on the ground, which makes Hard Frost of more interest on this handicap debut and any market support is worth noting. Golan Cloud is now 4lb lower than his last win and shouldn't be underestimated if the first-time visor has the desired effect.
