By Command can stamp authority

The withdrawal of Curtain Call because of the drying ground makes the Derby Trial (3.10) at Lingfield much weaker and By Command rates a fair bet at the 4-1 offered by Coral and William Hill.

He looked a much-improved performer when stepping up to ten furlongs at Windsor on his reappearance, bounding six lengths clear of his rivals, and this son of a French Oaks winner should find this longer trip within his compass.  He can see off the Aidan O'Brien-trained Alessandro Volta.

At Nottingham, Princelywallywogan (4.05) is worth supporting at the 5-1 offered by Stan James.  He dropped a long way in the weights when out of sorts last season but has returned to form on his past three starts and remains extremely well treated.  He looks sure to go close from a favourable low draw.
