A low-grade cavalry charge and most have been competing on the all-weather surfaces. Bertie Blu Boy, Chetan and Tasaaboq have all been thereabouts on the Polytrack of late but none have won on Turf before while Blue Bounty and Picansort are also better on the all-weather. But COMMANCHE was up against higher rated opposition than these when third in a claimer at Windsor last time and Chris Dwyer’s charge gets a token vote in this. Pharoh Jake has won four times on Turf and could figure after scoring on the Polytrack course here last month.
