Strawberry Lolly can land the opener at the expense of Prime Powered and Sky Quest. The selection was in wining action at Woverhampton when breaking his maiden tag and still looks a strong contender to follow up on that on the basis that he is put in off a mark of seventy five. With a nice racing weight to carry he can prove hard to beat. Prime Powered already has a hat-trick under his belt and now races off a career high mark. He is only one pound higher though for his latest Kempton win so is one to note even if things will not be as easy for him form now. Sky Quest has in the past been rated a lot higher than some of his rivals. He drops down in grade now but his attitude is question marked at times so is therefore one to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to Strawberry Lolly.
