Verdict

FINDING NERO finished a promising third of 14 beaten 3½L on AW debut over 7f last month and can improve to take the beating here off an advantageous mark. The Joseph O'Brien pair Commodus and King's Vow need to improve, so it could be left to Early Strike and Guiding to fight for the places and can go well at a price.
