Romeo Command made it eight wins from as many UK outings when comfortably landing his semi final of the £12,500 BGBF British Breeders Stakes at Nottingham on Monday night.

The Dave Firmager owned and bred brindle never looked like being beaten though it says much for his reputation that at less than five lengths, his supporters might be left thinking ‘there’s more to come’.

No Rush – next quickest on the clock in the opening round – continued to demonstrate that he is a very decent hound in his own right and his one length victory over the tiring Jaffa was just a length and a half slower than the Derby second favouritie.
