Race preview
Central Command returned with a two-length handicap debut success at Newcastle after being gelded, although he has been put up 7lb and may have to settle for a place. OATHBOUND always looked the sort to do better at three and, with an added two furlongs to travel, the William Haggas-trained colt could surprise them all. Bnaider hit a flat spot before finishing fourth at Sandown and should do a lot better with that run under his belt.
