Verdict

ORDER ORDER is at the right end of the handicap and he can account for Force Group and Sagredo. Harry Dunlop's charge was rated just 55 before dotting up in a maiden over course-and-distance. It has clearly taken some time for the penny to drop so today's task under a 6lb penalty seems feasible. Force Group is again tried in blinkers. He has gone close on a couple of occasions and the stable remain in decent nick. Sagredo is a rare Jonjo O'Neill runner on the flat and while he does not win often, he has taken on much stronger assignments than this in the past. Lyra's Daemon is closely noted in the ring while Traphalgar aims to translate winning form in plating grade into victory outside of that sphere. Order Order is our call in this handicap.
