Brave Command was an expensive purchase so it's a little disappointing that he's found one too good in both starts. Bright Strike is sure to improve for his debut third at Newmarket, however, while Reggae Star was only beaten a nose on her debut at Ayr but may need a longer trip in time. WENTWORTH will also stay further but had no luck in-running on his introduction behind Steeler in what looked a hot maiden at Goodwood. He'll have learned from that and gets the vote here. Forging The Path cost £120,000 but Market Town holds a number of Group 1 entries and looks the ;pick of the newcomers as Tribal Path has a middle-distance pedigree which suggests he'll be better as a three-year-old.
