Verdict

It's impossible to place total faith in KOMMANDER KIRKUP as he's disappointed too often in the past. He's clear on official ratings, however, and maybe the drop back to 5f will finally see him get his head in front given he hasn't been getting home over 6f. Fujin was three lengths behind the selection at Doncaster in May and ran no sort of race last time while Slick Indian was last on debut over track and trip when more than four lengths behind the returning Resist, who has place claims again.
