New World Order is taken at the likely odds to account for Officer and Habshan. The selection isn't the hardiest of battlers in a finish but he seems to have found his form for the application of a tongue-tie and having accounted for a hotpot in a maiden at the track a couple of weeks ago, lightning could strike twice. Officer won well at Kempton Park but disappointed at Yarmouth on a return to the track. He may need to dictate the pace in order to possess his best chance of victory. Habshan is honest enough but Chris Wall's charge appears to be struggling in his battle with the handicapper. Apex has won plenty of friends with his attitude earlier in the season although the handicapper has now had ample chance to do his sums. Hold up performer, Just Bond is sure to be plugging on when others have cried enough. Of the remainder, Daaweitza ran an encouraging reappearance from absence at Newmarket and is watched in the market. New World Order has plenty of positives going for him and we shall react accordingly.
