Verdict

Richard Fahey sent out last year’s winner and BENGALI SPIRIT has shown enough to suggest he can score at this level. He followed a promising effort at Musselburgh with an even better one at Pontefract and should have the measure of the others with experience including Dragon Beat, still well beaten when placed here last month. Victory Command is a half-brother to useful Group 2 winner Conquest and several other winners and is preferred to Fastman and Lorton of the newcomers.
