chased winner, ridden and evey chance over 2f out, edged left and one pace inside final furlong
chased leaders, ridden 4f out, edged left and weakened over 2f out
In this four-runner affair, Strobilus is the one to beat. Second to Moudez at Newmarket on soft on his debut, Strobilus stands out here and is likely to a very warm order. Aureate is related to plenty of winners so is respected, while we would not rule out a good run from Muree Queen, who is related to a good winner in Germany and who has good chances of acting on the going, but Countrywide Luck looks to have a little bit too much improvement to find if he is to win. Once again, the vote goes to Strobilus.
