In depth
Verdict
The Perfect Show comes out best at the weights but finished last at Lingfield on his recent reappearance and steps up in trip. DARK COMMAND looks a safer proposition as he returns to maiden company having gone close on several occasions last month. He should have the beating of Smirnova and Molivias Gem on these terms. The remainder with experience make no appeal while Visitant may prove best of the newcomers.
