Verdict
Under Attack looked certain to be suited by this sort of trip when runner-up to Murad Khan over a mile at Chelmsford. That winner is trained by Hugo Palmer who runs the newcomer Zorlu here though wearing blinkers on debut isn't a good sign. Young Christian has improved with every run but will need more as VICTORY BOND could win some nice races this season. William Haggas' colt has a middle-distance pedigree and the Dante entry got off to a cracking start when chasing home the favourite Algometer at Newbury in October.
