Verdict

HARLEQUIN STRIKER ran well for second in heavy going at Windsor on his reappearance. He was placed off a higher mark over today’s longer trip last year and should make a bold bid in this. Sonnetist won over 1m4f at Southwell last month but has yet to score on Turf while Fast And Hot has a shout on last year’s close-up second at Nottingham. Sir Roderic slips further down the weights while Outofthequestion is upped in class after placing at Lingfield recently.
