Third Strike is penalised for landing a very low grade handicap over 1m2f at Kempton on Tuesday and this looks tougher. SAN QUENTIN would have a chance on the form shown when scoring at Kempton in November and a line should be drawn through his latest start when impeded at a crucial stage. Tony Carroll's grey is taken to get back to winning ways though Lucky Dottie is an obvious threat. Pat Phelan's filly has improved massively since being fitted with headgear so it's a surprise that she's without them today. Nora Batty had been racing over the minimum trip before tackling 1m2f here last time where she was beating a retreat when hampered while it's a long time since Warrant Officer showed any form. El Libertador is a standing dish around here and could prove best of the remainder.
