TROUBLE AND STRIFE is progressing at a rate of knots and though stepping up markedly in trip she's looked very convincing when making all in her last two starts on this track. A hat-trick beckons though Surrey Blaze, another on a three-timer and stepping up in trip, has also impressed with victories at Leicester and Bath. Seinesational won a couple of minor handicaps at Windsor and Brighton before stepping up to this grade at Newbury and finding the company too hot to handle. Place Des Vosges led for a long way when tackling this trip at Doncaster and is by no means out of this.
