Verdict

FIRST IN COMMAND is at last making the most of his slide down the weights and bids for a C&D hat-trick having won by over two lengths without breaking sweat last week. He has to be the selection, despite a penalty, as Daniel Loughnane's charge has already beaten half this field. The Magic Of Rio followed him home last week while Sandwith, Slatey Hen, Fashion Icon and Chosen One never got near him the week before. Ever Roses scored in heavy ground at Newcastle in August and could prove the main threat ahead of Bookiesindex Boy.
