In depth

Verdict

Macanudo is creeping closer with every run and steps back up in trip while Commander Of Life was much improved at Lingfield last time. Skilled Master is another moving in the right direction as is PARKER’S PIECE and the latter gets the vote having been beaten only a length at Kempton last month. St Lukes Chelsea is related to a Group 3 winner with Zipster and Test Of Love other newcomers to note.
