Verdict
VICTORY COMMAND showed enough when third at Thirsk on a recent racecourse debut to suggest he’ll soon be winning at this level. Mark Johnston’s colt can confirm running with both Blazing Dreams and Mazeo Lad but Arcadian Rocks may prove a threat dropping back down in class having run well at Salisbury on an earlier introduction. Of the newcomers, Aurag and Hurricane Speed are both related to 5f winners with Hawayel and Capla Gilda others to keep an eye on.
