STRONGBOWE has improved for the drop down to 6f and went close again at Nottingham having won at Thirsk before that. He looks worth sticking with given Mr Wagyu struggled off today’s mark at Pontefract when attempting to land a hat-trick and the recent good form of Ventura Express has been over the minimum trip. Kapono won over course and distance in May but that was testing ground and Lincoln Park is preferred after placing at Chester.
