Verdict

Quite a mixed bag go to post for this staying event with HIGH COMMAND looking as though he’s working his way back to the sort of form that saw him successful here off higher marks in the past, he shaped really well here last time against an obvious improver. Seasearch at one stage looked as though he would be a Fibresand monster but he’s lost his way a little of late although his yard are going well and he could bounce back. Aphaea has a very mixed background but any market support should be noted while neither Discay or Country’N’Western look that well handicapped but can’t be totally written off.
  1. High Command
  2. Seasearch
  3. Country'n'western
