In depth
Verdict
Redarna recorded an 11th career victory at Ayr at the start of the month and is unlikely to be far away again but GARDEN OASIS (NAP) has already won off this mark this season and it looked as though his turn was coming around again when second at Ripon last week, ahead of Firmament. Defence Treaty had Global Spirit and the odds-on Kettle Hill behind when successful at Redcar in April and the latter hasn’t raced since but Naval Commander looks a bigger danger having run well over 1m2f at Ascot after winning at Newbury.
