Verdict

COMMANDER STRAKER made all in good style from Estate at Bath a fortnight ago and can go well again up in trip. He's one of only 3 previous winners in the field and gets the vote over his old rival who seems sure to progress. It has been a while since a maiden won this but if that is ever going to change it could well be this year, with Keep Bidding, Silencer and Self Praise all looking capable of better also.

  1. COMMANDER STRAKER (IRE)
  2. ESTATE
  3. KEEP BIDDING (IRE)
