Race preview
TURBO COMMAND finished a respectable third when appearing to go for home too soon at Ayr a fortnight ago and the six-year-old may regain the winning thread if delaying his challenge in this contest. Bulls Aye drops into 0-60 company and better is expected from Iain Jardine's charge now returned to the scene of his last victory. The Intello gelding may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Retirement Beckons, who also has the form to get involved.
