STRABOE won for the third time in his last four starts when scoring over 5f at Wolverhampton last month. He's up another 5lb but is worth sticking with in his current frame of mind. Sherjawy won over the minimum trip at Lingfield on his penultimate start and can confirm the form with fifth-placed Estonia, while five-time C&D winner Lord Of The Reins remains on a winning mark despite a 6lb penalty for scoring here a week ago. Fair Passion has slipped down the weights and showed signs of a return to form here last week.
