Formscan  - COMMAND THE STARS hasn't looked back since his fifth on debut at Haydock, winning twice, and he now makes his nursery bow. George Scott's juvenile is likely to have plenty more to offer and can go close. Special Dividend is unbeaten in two starts, most recently scoring in good fashion at Southwell, and as long as the son of Ardad transfers that form to turf, he should have a say. Just A Girl and Peel Park are others to keep an eye on.
