Verdict

Fight Commander hasn't been able to justify market prominence in three runs so far for trainer Olly Murphy, though he does ease in grade now and isn't written off. Long-standing maiden VAXALCO put in an improved effort over C&D last time, travelling well and giving best only to a resurgent rival. A reproduction of that effort might be good enough here. Last time out C&D winner The Jugopolist is no certainty to be in the same mood, with the mare Stonebrigg Legend a more reliable sort.
