Commanche Falls is the likely market leader after his latest successes which included a decisive victory here in Listed company. He's since landed a Group 3 at Newbury and has every chance of making it three on the bounce despite giving weight away all round. Go Athletico has done well for Adrian McGuinness on both starts since joining from France and commands respect accordingly, but a chance is taken with the three-year-old, SHARTASH. He suggested that his turn could be near when only beaten under a length by Commanche Falls at Newbury and will be a live danger if back to the best of his juvenile form which saw him make the front four in four successive Group contests, three at the highest level. Moss Tucker, Tango Flare and Thunderbear are also in with a chance.
