Verdict

ACROSS EARTH took another step forward under a change of tactics when going in at Sandown and can go 3-4 for this season here. Frontier Prince rates a big threat on the back of an excellent Cheltenham third, with the classy Ambiente Friendly also well in the mix on his handicap hurdle debut.
