The unbeaten FRONTISPIECE followed last year’s maiden win with a victory over track and trip on his reappearance. Ryan Moore has partnered him to both successes and Sir Michael Stoute’s colt has been raised only 4lb for this. A short-head separated Jupiter Light and Archetype when the former won over course and distance and both can figure again today but African is upped in class and raised 6lb for winning at Windsor. Omeros remains unexposed and preferred to Seafarer as he steps up in trip.
