FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Galileo-sired FLEET COMMANDER's form has been underwhelming but ok when slowly away last month and notably steps back up in distance. Out of a Group 1 winner and a brother to another, he finished that race reasonably well, suggesting he might get his turn at this distance. Alaroos, a half-sister to Derby runner-up Madhmoon, was third in that race and should be suited by stepping back up in distance, having won her maiden at this trip. She is 2lb higher but is reliable. Joupe and Cozone are closely matched on a run here 21 days ago with Cozone running well subsequently and is today reunited with his 5lb claimer. Guild, a seven year old Frankel entire, ran well over course and distance recently while Chilled Out makes his handicap debut, stepping up in distance. Another handicap debutante Nemean disappointed in a visor at the Curragh last month. First reserve Chally Chute, a course and distance winner 14 days ago, would be notable if getting a run.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (80 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
