Verdict

Superior Command is clearly going the right way over hurdles and a 6lb rise for his recent victory over C&D may not be enough to prevent a follow-up considering he is still rated below his chase mark. Final Command, who was around six lengths back in third that day, should again be very competitive whilst the fact that Neil Mulholland has his string in excellent order augurs well for Whispering Storm who seemed to run too bad to be true at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. 1. Superior Command 2. Whispering Storm 3. Final Countdown
