Martin's Brig carries 5lb extra for a recent success over track and trip while the disappointing Ebury could only manage third when sent off favourite at Wolverhampton. FINAL FRONTIER has yet to win on the all-weather but is 5lb lower than when last scoring on Turf and recent placed efforts, including last week’s close-up third over course and distance, suggest his turn is not far away. Liberty Breeze completed a double at Catterick during the summer while Minhaaj is fitted with a tongue-tie today.
