Verdict

By Command runs here on Wednesday and barring a disaster remains a leading player but he may just be coming up against a well-handicapped runner in MOSQUERAS ROMANCE who has our confidence with Well Of Echoes given a chance to bounce back after a slight disappointment last time. Marco Botti and Andrea Atzeni are having a productive partnership in recent weeks and it's that team who are responsible for the pick, who was an easy winner of his handicap debut on his last run. That was at Kempton but he's just as effective on this surface and he looks ahead of the assessor. Prior to Wednesday's run By Command was unlucky to bump into a really well weighted runner and it's looks as though lightning as struck twice. If we're wrong about the pick the Kevin Ryan's charge has every chance of scoring here if coming out of the race in the week ok. The connections of Well Of Echoes obviously fancy they can win a race under a penalty opting to turn him out again before reassessment despite only a solid run last time. Some of his winning form does suggest there more to come so he isn't ruled out. Johnmanderville put in a much improved effort last time and will be a threat if building on that while Seldom has been knocking on the door in recent runs and should go close again, however, Maqueras Romance looks ahead of the handicapper and should go in.
