Verdict

James Tate's SKY COMMANDER was beaten by only another lightly-raced type on his handicap debut at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. He's presumably been hard to train, but should go on improving now. The main threat could be Riot, who failed to improve as required at Kempton in October but should be capable of better judged on his 2-y-o form. Ghaith completes the shortlist.

  1. SKY COMMANDER (IRE)
  2. RIOT (IRE)
  3. GHAITH
