Commander has Betfair target Nigel Twiston-Davies reports Imperial Commander in good shape after welcoming back his 2010 Gold Cup hero into training. The 11-year-old gelding has been sidelined by injury since being pulled up in last year's Gold Cup, but is now back in full work. The Betfair Chase at Haydock in late November is his intended comeback target. "He is back in work and all is looking good at the moment," said the Naunton handler. "The early signs are positive and hopefully he'll be at Haydock at the end of November." One of the most exciting new recruits to the yard is high-class Flat performer Ransom Note. The five-year-old is a Royal Ascot winner and had taken on Frankel earlier this year, but he is not far off making his National Hunt debut. "He had a bit of a break and is just starting work now, hopefully he'll be out in around a month's time," said Twiston-Davies.
