Strozzi was a disappointing favourite at Sandown, when finishing just ahead of Liamarty Dreams, but a further step up in trip should suit. Highland Premiere has struggled since winning over 7f at Catterick and several of these make their handicap debuts. Truely Aclaimed has won at Beverley while Tricky Business scored over a shorter trip here in July but dual novice winner SANITISER makes more appeal. He struggled in Listed company a fortnight ago but should be more at home at this level so gets the vote.
