Strike West has struggled in both outings since scoring over track and trip nearly a year ago but JURYS OUT posted a better effort at Hereford last time behind the progressive Uno Mas.

He’s preferred to stablemate Khairagash but the The Lady Rules wasn’t beaten far in a selling hurdle at Taunton recently and can figure.
