Lawful Command won a couple of nurseries last year but does look exposed. Dark Swansong should run his race again, however, while Wodeton has placed in three of his four starts to date, though will need to settle better than at Newmarket if he is to see out this extra furlong. The trip shouldn’t be a problem for WINEGLASS BAY, who was very progressive last season and could be well treated on a mark of 83 on his handicap debut. Zoom may also be on a fair mark but Barley has run his best races so far at Nottingham, which is left-handed, though he should be staying on at the death.
