A very weak seller and TANK COMMANDER is nominated to win it for the in-form yard of Willie Muir. Fourth last time at Yarmouth in this grade, he raced with more zest back on a livelier surface and that particular seller was arguably a better one to this. Caltire and Threestonestoburn are others that come into the equation based on their recent form. Caltire won over this C&D earlier in the summer but has ground to make up on Tank Commander on their clash last time. Highland Homestead has the headgear removed but has chances on snips of his form. The Willowy Wigean is worth a check in the market back on a sounder surface but Tank Commander is the selection.
