        In depth

        Verdict

        DARK COMMAND was sent off favourite for his seasonal debut over 6f at Redcar but could only stay on for fourth. But this extra distance should suit on that showing and he is preferred to Alba Dawn. The latter also steps up to 7f for the time having been narrowly beaten at Ayr in October while Tombe Girl went close at Southwell last month but that was over 6f too. Arizona Sunrise looks no nearer winning despite slipping down the weights but Monsieur Glory may do better dropping down a grade for this.
