Verdict
This could prove tricky with the potential for a slow pace. However, Frankie takes over the reins on SNOWBOARDER and is likely to set his own pace in front if the others set off at a crawl. His mount went close to following-up his Kempton win when runner-up at Newmarket last time and looks closely matched with Ayaar, who got off the mark at Folkestone last month having been highly tried before that. Secret Sign finished last in the Richmond Stakes on his latest start but is not out of this on his earlier win at Windsor.
