      Verdict

      Commander Han went close over track and trip on his penultimate start but is still looking for his first win in a handicap and FOXY FOREVER (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter is now back on a winning mark and it showed over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton last month when finding only one too good. Michael Wigham’s charge is taken to confirm latest running with Canford Bay and get his head back in front. Primo's Comet is facing an easier task than of late and can also figure but Jonboy and Gamesome have yet to win on the all-weather and the latter’s stablemate Buniann has been gelded since last in action in October.
