Strong Team quickened clear of GREAT COLACI over track and trip earlier this month but the runner-up is now 3lb better off and has been placed twice on the Flat since. With the experienced James King doing the steering today, Gillian Boanas’ charge can take his revenge. Shackles has the scope to do better now handicapping but Sense Of Urgency was beaten a long way here last time having won at Hexham before that. Make My Heart Fly is worth a market check while Make It Happen ran out at the last on this track when in the lead after winning at Kelso but ran poorly here last time.
