Race Info

1st - £30,924.00 2nd - £14,502.00 3rd - £7,254.00 4th - £3,624.00 5th - £1,812.00 6th - £906.00

Formscan - Having signed off his last campaign with a triumph at Sandown, Flying Frontier likely has more to offer this year. However, the lack of a recent run and 2lb nudge up the ratings does demand more from James Tate's charge and TONY MONTANA ticks more of the right boxes. The son of Kingman arrives on the back of a good second at Goodwood and a 2lb higher mark looks workable on this second outing of the season. Have Secret and Austrian Theory are others to consider.
