Experience could count for plenty here and with that in mind ORTELIUS (16) looks the one to beat. This Aidan O'Brien trained colt ran on strongly missing narrowly debuting at the Curragh having been slowly away. May go one better here. Charlie Appleby is doing well and his two well-bred newcomers DUKE'S COMMAND (9) and MARCHING THUNDER (13) both command respect with Buick seemingly preferring the former who is a son of Dubawi. WAFEI (19) produced a pleasing debut finishing runner-up tackling this trip at Haydock and cannot be ignored alongside the more experienced BELLUM JUSTUM (2).
