In depth

Verdict

STRAWBERRY JACK has placed in all three subsequent starts since scoring at Bath in May. He’s won off a higher mark here in the past and should have the measure of these. Radetsky landed a double over 7f at Lingfield last summer but has a bit to prove over today’s trip and the same comment applies to Ventura Vision, who has recorded both wins so far over 7f here. Lightening Shore went close on the Polytrack before struggling at Yarmouth and Moraweth may prove best of the rest now handicapping.
