Won a weak maiden at Wolverhampton in November. Two runs this term suggest he requires some leniency from the handicapper.

7/2
Easy winner over C&D a month ago in first-time blinkers and has gone well off this mark at Sandown since. Both career victories have come here so definitely one to consider.

Not disgraced in the Northumberland Plate consolation last month and this represents a big drop in class. Rider 18-49 for the stable this year who in turn are 3-8 with their older horses here.

Four of his five career victories have come here over a variety of trips. Closely matched with Clowance One on their clash here a month ago.

2/1
Course winner who has been in good form on turf lately. Long odds-on favourite when successful last time and saddled with a 7lb rise as a result. Progressive and requires a career best to land an above average race for the grade.

8/1
Thrice-raced maiden who steps up considerably in distance for his handicap debut. Handicap mark appears demanding but probably worth checking in the market with a first-time visor and the best looking yet to come.

Sole victory in 14 starts came here. Well beaten on his first attempt at this trip three weeks ago and this looks an even harder contest.

Forecasts

Dominating (2/1), Clowance One (7/2), High Command (4/1), Maghfoor (6/1), King Calypso (15/2), Normandie Attack (8/1), The Blues Master (16/1), Going Up (16/1)

Verdict

This looks better than an average class four race around here and there are a couple of unexposed types to check in the market. Normandie Attack and Maghfoor should be monitored for positive signals as they step up in trip and have scope to improve on their latest efforts. Dominating is developing into a progressive stayer and could easily produce the career best required to take this. Clowance One and King Calypso are others to consider, but HIGH COMMAND has plenty to offer. His Newcastle third to a well-handicapped rival on Northumberland Plate day represents the pick of the form. The Varian/De Sosua partnership have an impressive strike rate in 2017 and they are taken to add another success to their haul.
  1. High Command
  2. Dominating
  3. Clowance One
