COMMANDER OF FLEET led home a 1-2-3 for Gordon Elliott in a bumper here in April and can't be opposed before going on to better things. Kalum River also won a bumper here the same month and has gone well enough in similar races this autumn to suggest he'll be up to winning over hurdles before long. The remainder with experience have shown nothing so Castle Oliver, a half-brother to four-times winner Innocent Girl, may prove best of the remainder.
