Verdict

COMMANDER HAN returned to action with an impressive win over 7f here. This longer trip should not be a problem on that evidence and he’s taken to defy a penalty. Both Sallab and Narcos fell victim to the progressive Night Castle on their respective latest starts with the former coming out best on these terms while Mootasadir’s dam was a smart Group 2 winner and the newcomer makes more appeal than both Sopranos Rock and Houlton.
