FAIR FRONTIERES lost out only narrowly to a useful type in a big-field maiden hurdle at Navan in March, so he looks the one to beat with further progress on the cards for his new stable. The Grand Visir doesn't look like he'll reach the level he has on the Flat over hurdles, but he's still shown enough to suggest he's capable of winning a race or 2. His Oscar is a respected Rules newcomer.
