      Verdict

      FRONTIERSMAN has a superb pedigree being by Dubawi out of the brilliant mare Ouija Board. He's been slow to come to hand but beat a subsequent winner in a maiden at Newbury last month and connections will be thinking in terms of a Listed race if all goes well here. He won't find it easy conceding 9lb to Proctor, however, as Stuart Kittow's charge was impressive when getting off the mark over course and distance just over three weeks ago. Shahbar won easily at Yarmouth and also has claims while Wave Reviews probably found 1m4f too far at Ascot. But Four On Eight has been a beaten favourite in both starts this year and needs to get back to his best.
