Verdict
Nate The Great sets the standard here as he was only headed close home in the Chesham over course and distance last month having made a winning start at Carlisle. But MASTER BREWER created a very favourable impression at Newmarket having been hampered on debut and he could provide a bit of value with more to come and his stable in cracking form. Victory Command has won three of his six starts but he looks vulnerable in this grade against less-exposed types. Newbury winner Almurr makes more appeal than Glorious Lover and Hesslewood of the others.
