None of these can be discounted out of hand, but there should be more to come from FRONTISPIECE . Sir Michael Stoute's charge has made a solid start to his career in handicaps, including when second in a good race at Goodwood last time on ground that may have been softer than ideal, and should have more to offer given his profile. His stablemate Karawaan won a maiden in good style at Chelmsford last time and is another for the shortlist, in addition to Twin Star , who steps down in class here.
