Verdict
Crown Power went close in lower grade over track and trip last time and shares ownership with Fox Vardy. The latter has placed at this level on Turf but Aced It is another upped in class after a third at Epsom. Naval Commander steps up in distance after a decent effort in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket but PROTECTED GUEST placed in Class 2 company at the track a fortnight ago and George Margarson’s charge may be the one to side with now back on a winning mark.
