Forecasts

Crest of Fire (7/4), Hankelow (3/1), Commanding Officer (9/2), Brotherhood Of Man (8/1), Last Verse (8/1), Shadow Brigade (16/1), Jeddaal (20/1)

Verdict

An interesting maiden contested by a trio of well-bred newcomers and a quartet who showed promise on debut. CREST OF FIRE was very green when fifth of 18 behind subsequent Chesham Stakes winner Humidity at Newbury 6 weeks ago so Jack Channon's colt could be the one who takes the biggest step forward. Commanding Officer wasn't given a hard time at Haydock so looks sure to progress, while Karl Burke's Hankelow looks the pick of the newcomers before market clues.
