Frontier Dancer appears to have this race at his mercy and should take all the beating. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge is comfortably best of those with experience judged by his course and distance fourth here last month in, what appeared to be, a stronger race than this. It's easy to overlook the others to have raced but the pedigrees of The New Nemesis and Ajimorag do offer some cause for optimism and the obligatory market check is required. They will need to be above average to get the better of the selection who should improve for his initial experience and it's hard to look beyond Frontier Dancer.
