Desert Strike is still capable at this level as he proved when scoring at Lingfield last month with Temple Road behind. But it could be the turn of COSTA FILEY (NAP) today as he was placed in a higher grade sprint at Sandown on his recent reappearance with Megan Nicholls good value for her 3lb allowance. Believe It and Not Your Call have done all their winning so far over 7f or further but both Eljaddaaf and Picket Line won over track and trip earlier in the year. Only Ten Per Cent is a course and distance winner but still looks high enough in the weights.
