Frontispiece ended last season with a victory over a longer trip here while Moktasaab has switched yards since scoring over today’s distance at Nottingham in October. CARP KID won at Bath in the same month but has the advantage of a recent run under his belt when beaten only a length at Windsor and may prove the one to side with. Progressive on the all-weather, Fitwood Star is fitted with cheekpieces while Roscioli has been gelded since last in action and Danville and Random Harvest are among the least exposed.
