The Crisfords’ yard continues to fire-in the winners and LISEO can open his account. He went close at Doncaster last month and has a couple of pounds to spare with his main rival Storm Castle. The latter placed at Windsor last time and Frankie takes over the reins for his only ride of the meeting. Swashbuckler has plenty to find with the principals on these terms but is preferred of the remainder.
