Verdict

FRONTISPIECE ran well for second at Newbury on his reappearance having scored over today’s longer trip at the same track at the end of last season. He beat Bague D'or on that occasion and can confirm superiority as the latter returns to action. Contingency Fee won a lower grade contest at Yarmouth recently while Red Flyer landed a double on the Polytrack at the start of the year but Alpha King has something to prove over this far. Blow Your Horn drops down in trip and Thai Power hasn’t raced since 2020.
