In depth

Verdict

Strikeen, Global Traffic and Sheriff's Silk are three against the field in a trappy nursery and the narrow vote is given to Strikeen. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Shouldntbethere and although rising in the weights he looks a progressive type and he is taken to defy the handicaper.. Global Traffic rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time and although better off at the weights his overall profile leaves hinm mwith plenty to find. Sherrif's Silk is another worthy of respect as he also won well last time out but he is unproven over the trip and is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Cryptic Clue is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we retern to Srikeen.
