Commodore finished just ahead of Dutiful Son when runner-up over a mile here with Elemraan further behind. The first two are closely matched while Wolverhampton winner Ustinov steps up in class. DAGHER won in this grade at Thirsk in August and looks capable of better still and is preferred to recent runners-up Fast Dancer and New Leyf. Yeeoow has yet to win beyond 6f but Muntadab drops back down in class and may do better.
