The Elliott stable has a good record in this and FRONTAL ASSAULT has very much the right profile having got his mark from 3 runs over shorter trips whilst leaving the impression this sort of stamina test will very much play to his strengths. Fellow handicap newcomer Ain't That A Shame is feared most. School Boy Hours and Smoking Gun complete the shortlist in what could be an Irish domination.
