In depth
Verdict
Chichester won over a mile here recently and has gone close over today’s trip in the past. Imperial Command completed a double over a mile at the track with his latest success and attempts 1m2f for the first time but LIVE YOUR DREAM is preferred. Saeed bin Suroor’s charge missed the whole of last year having returned an easy winner over course and distance when last in action and makes his handicap debut having been gelded subsequently. High Commissioner failed miserably bidding for a hat-trick at Newbury but can do better back on the all-weather while Lunar Jet and Master The Stars should appreciate the drop back down in distance.
