Trade Commissioner Out To Land Sovereign Stakes

Trading Up - Can Trade Commissioner register a first Group success?
John Gosden’s progressive Trade Commissioner, who had been ante-post favourite for the Betfred Mile at Glorious Goodwood before being withdrawn when he failed to eat up in the build-up to the race looks to gain compensation when he bids to land the Group 3 Sovereign Stakes at Salisbury this afternoon.

Unraced at two and three, the Montjeu gelding has been impressive this season, landing a couple of big handicaps, the 1m Sovereign will be his first attempt at Group class however, but Gosden looks to have found him an ideal opportunity to get off the mark in this loftier company.

Providing he’s back to full strength now after missing Goodwood, Trade Commissioner, with William Buick on board once again, should take all the beating in Salisbury’s feature later on.

With Bronterre and Mac Love out his task has been made easier, however Andrew Balding’s Group-placed Tullius could be a danger.

Trade Commissioner is currently best-priced 2/1 with several firms to run out victorious in the race which is off at 3.55.
