In depth
Verdict
KOMMANDER KIRKUP returned a losing favourite when finding one too good at Ayr last time. But that's still the best form on offer by some margin and Michael Dods' colt should be opening his account in this company. Beautiful Stranger and Danzeno have experience of soft ground though neither has looked like winning so far but False Witness can be given a chance on his earlier fifth at Catterick. Locky Taylor may prove best of the newcomers.
