BY COMMAND can take the nightcap with Ella Woodcock and Mr Hichens others worthy of note. Kevin Ryan's charge could plummet in the market if Satwa Moon obliges earlier in the programme so it could be worth getting the early prices. He can be quite a nervous individual but Neil Callan should know him well enough. Ella Woodcock has gone up the weights though the handicapper has had little option on account of a renewed zest for the game. Mr Hichens ran some decent races for Brian Meehan in the past though his plummet down the ratings has not been without good reason. Bob Stock did not enjoy life at Southwell and has been swiftly switched back to the polytrack. Efficiency showed well on a return from a long absence and the market is noted to see if connections envisage any further improvement. Tevez has scored somewhat less than his footballing namesake. Ninth House needs no introduction to regulars at Dunstall Park and while he will run his race, his yard are not in great nick at present. A trappy affair but if By Command can handle the preliminaries, he has the class to make it count.
