Verdict

WILLIAM'S WAY has slipped to an attractive mark and may get back to winning ways. The Ian Wood-trained gelding last scored from a mark of 65 on the Fibresand in January, but he acts equally well here, where he has won over course and distance, and he is 1lb below that most recent success today, so we'll give him the nod. Strike Force is in form but has never won beyond 1m 1f and so has clear stamina doubts, while the handicapper may also be in control. You couldn't discount a good run here from Relative Strength after a drop in the weights, while 12f specialist Larkrise Star is on a very competitive pitch and should get heavily involved.
