Victory Command⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| CD

1/14

Made the most of his experience when winning last time over C&D (made all) backing up an earlier Doncaster win over 5f. Unexposed over this trip and despite having to give weight away can follow-up here.

Form: 31231

Alhebaba²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

33/1

Very green on his debut and having a pedigree that made little appeal on paper. Will know a little more here upped in trip but would be a surprise winner.

Melgate Majeure²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby

22/1

Beat just one home on his debut at Wetherby over 6f showing only how green he was; dwelt and under pressure for much of the way. Hopes are pinned on the new trip.

Form: 8

Biscuit Queen⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

14/1

One of two fillies in the field she failed to improve from her debut having twice now run over 5f here. Stepped up to 7f and hard to see her challenging.

Form: 98

Poet's Delight

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: S A Gray| T: Grant Tuer

6/1

The sole newcomer in the field this Poet's Voice filly is a half-sister three winners with the dam also a juvenile 6f winner. Market looks likely to guide for a yard that are 1/7 with two-year-olds in the past five years.

Forecasts

Victory Command (1/14), Poet's Delight (6/1), Biscuit Queen (14/1), Hard Knock Life (16/1), Melgate Majeure (22/1), Alhebaba (33/1)

VICTORY COMMAND has to give away lumps of weight here due to his two wins so far but he beat a better field than this last time out in easy fashion and is expected to add another win to his CV in a weak looking contest. Poet’s Delight makes some appeal on pedigree and despite this being her first run she could well chase home the short-priced favourite with Hard Knock Life a token selection to fill out the places.
