Multiple course winner but a long time since his last win; beaten a long way in a Listed race upped to 1m6f in April; returns from a break here; dropping in class but hard to recommend.

Not fancied in the betting when winning by 1½l over 7f at Vaal (handicap) two weeks ago; knows how to win here; edging up the ratings but form of the stable is a plus; should not be far away.

Held when fifth beaten 8l here over 1m1f (Grade 3) two months ago; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 3-13); definitely of interest now dropping in class.

Verdict
Secret Chord could have a say, and World Of Royalty is capable of having a say. However, COMMAND PILOT is the recommendation. He makes appeal on the strength of his most recent run.
