In depth

Verdict

COMMANDER OF LIFE improves with every start and won at Chelmsford last month. He’s penalised but is likely to show further progress over this longer trip. Aljezur also steps up in distance having run well at Ascot while Swift Victory placed over track and trip a fortnight ago and is another to consider. Musical Act can only improve while Ravishing Beauty and Biographer are newcomers to note.
