        Verdict

        This should prove an informative maiden, but By Command has got a nice CV and is the nomination to see off La Voile Rouge, Native Talent, Firestreak and Hampstead Heath. The selection comes from a yard that is going really well and looks sure to have a good idea about the job before making his debut. There is plenty of winning form in his pedigree and at this age, and so we will side with him. La Voile Rouge will be popular with Frankie up. he comes from a yard that is not red hot at present and will probably want further to be seen to best effect, and the same applies to Native Talent. Firestreak represents Her Majesty and is another with some good credentials, while Hampstead Heath, whose dam won over this trip as a juvenile, arguably looks to be even more of a threat. However, By Command comes from a yard in form and can add to their tally.
