COMMANDER STRAKER failed to land the odds when runner-up at Wetherby last time but the winner looked above average and David Loughnane’s colt gets another chance in this. Ignac Lamar’s best effort so far came at Southwell earlier but Jilted and Estate look likely improvers with the former preferred. 200,000gns purchase Fox Degree and the French-bred Valdai are newcomers to keep an eye on.
