      Verdict

      Strategic Strike has the beating of El Massivo, Sunblazer and World Map on his effort at Windsor behind Plutocracy. But he was less than convincing in finishing fourth and will need to improve to land this. White Month makes more appeal on his recent second over track and trip and Magika isn't out of this if staying the longer distance after a third at Pontefract over 1m2f. ALCAEUS has the profile of many a former stablemate as he improves with every step up in trip. He landed a double with victory at Hamilton last week and we're likely to see further progress from Sir Mark Prescott's colt over today's extra furlong.
