        Verdict

        Lightly-raced five-year-old FRONTIER FIGHTER is making up for lost time. He scored by seven lengths on the Fibresand at Southwell on Wednesday and given he won his maiden at this track, David O'Meara's charge can shrug off a penalty and go in again. Dashwood scored over track and trip last time and an apprentice negates a big chunk of an 8lb rise while Prince James went close again during the week having won here in January and is another to consider. Prince Of Passion is also a course winner but was below par at Kempton last time and Key Ambition makes more appeal.
