FRONTIERSMAN can take the next step up the ladder in the Fizz-Fridays At Slug And Lettuce Handicap at Sandown.

The Godolphin colt is certainly bred to be a good deal better than this class three event as a son of Dubawi out of multiple Group One winner Ouija Board, making him a half-brother to Derby hero Australia.

However, he has clearly taken some time to come to hand as he did not race at all as a juvenile and only made his racecourse debut when third in a Goodwood maiden at the beginning of June.

That was perhaps not the strongest race but the fact he finished ahead of a couple of subsequent winners augured well and Frontiersman was not too long in getting off the mark himself at Newbury last month.

He still lacked some experience that day, but when James Doyle asked a question, he knuckled down well to see off the favourite Makzeem with the minimum of fuss, form since well advertised by the runner-up, himself a very easy winner at Windsor.

Trained by Charlie Appleby, pictured, Frontiersman looks the type to go on to much better in the future and while an initial mark of 90 is far from a featherweight, this promising colt is one to keep on the right side of.

Great Fun can come good for new connections in the Party Booking At Slug And Lettuce Handicap.

The five-year-old has just one win in seven starts to his credit but trainer Michael Blake was eager to snap him up for £10,000 after he finished second in a Wolverhampton claimer for Brian Meehan at the end of June.

He was only beaten a length despite not having enjoyed the best of runs and his current mark of 79 is not beyond him.

Great Fun has yet to finish out of the first four and his consistency can be rewarded.

Trevisani should appreciate the step up to 16 furlongs in the ApolloBet Online Casino And Games Handicap at Haydock.

The four-year-old has won just once for David Lanigan but has looked more than capable of adding to that statistic in the future, with a hike up in trip a particularly positive development judged on his recent fourth at Kempton.

He was possibly given a bit too much to do but was keeping on to the line and looked as though a little bit further would be right up his street.

His half-brother Amerigo was smart over marathon trips, placing in the 2009 Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot, so stamina could well be the family forte.

Thames Knight can strike gold for Marcus Tregoning in the frosts4cars.co.uk Brighton Challenge Cup Handicap at the seaside venue.

A winner at Epsom at the beginning of July, he failed to sparkle at Windsor last Monday but should not be written off just yet.

As ever the Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown merits plenty of attention, and the focus will be on St Leger runner-up Bondi Beach as he looks to make it three wins from as many starts this season.

He comes back in trip but is hardly a back-number at a mile and a half and Aidan O'Brien should ensure there is plenty of pace on, which will suit.
