Bachelor couldn't get close enough to Commander Gigio to make a challenge over the course and distance a fortnight ago but should have come on a bundle for the experience. Mount Wellington was an odds-on chance when beaten on his debut at Dundalk then finished last when stepped into Listed company at the last meeting here. BATTLE OF JERICHO also represents Aidan O'Brien and the son of War Front out of the top-class Together looks the one to be on with Seamie Heffernan in the saddle. The three newcomers are all interesting with Moghamarah having the speediest pedigree.
