Final Frontier can successfully step up in class

It’s Oaks day at the Curragh, and Curvy looks capable of justifying favouritism in the feature, but it’s Final Frontier who gets the nap to make a successful step up to Group 3 level in the Jebel Ali Racecourse & Stables Anglesey Stakes.

The Jessica Harrington-trained colt was the subject of a substantial gamble on his debut, in a Curragh maiden, and delivered in some style. The strength of the form is still unclear, but he could hardly have done it more easily and, with natural progression, should take beating.

The danger must be the highly regarded Queen Of Sicily, who also justified market confidence on debut. She looked an exciting sort on that occasion, holds a Moyglare entry, and shouldn’t be dismissed lightly.
