Verdict
SALVATORE FURY's trainer Keith Dalgleish is in terrific form, as is apprentice jockey Jason Hart, so the Strategic Prince gelding gets the nod in this. He won at Hamilton last month and has been thereabouts in three subsequent outings, including in a higher grade last time where he travelled strongly for much of the way. Hazza The Jazza was sent off favourite at Newcastle last time but again found a couple too good and this is a better race. Findog also disappointed when well backed last time, as did Rapscallion Deep, but Gold Beau won at Hamilton last week and likes fast ground, though has a penalty to overcome. Dream Ally is starting to look well treated but hasn't been firing so the maiden Thorntoun Lady may be best of the rest.
