EXPLOSION (2) bids for a hat-trick following a 1. 75L victory at Windsor which was then followed by an impressive 7L success over this distance at Chelmsford a month ago. Leading contender. COMMANDING OFFICER (3) shed the maiden tag at the third attempt securing a head victory in a Haydock Park novice race improving from a fourth the start prior at York. Expected to challenge. BOURBON BLUES (1) brings the most experience of this field. Last seen placing third in a conditions race at Newbury and is interesting making handicap debut. CRYSTAL PIER (4) failed to win in four outings. Improvement expected.
