Verdict

There is rarely an afternoon goes by without David Barron visiting the winners enclosure and he can take this weak looking affair with Strong Approach, Bijli and Advancement look to be the main rivals. Strong Approach has been running much better than his form figures suggest and his trainer appears to have found him a good opportunity to lose his maiden tag. The main concern has to be the surface but if he handles it he should go very close. Bijli finished just ahead of the selection at Catterick last time in the race won by Lord Mayfair. There should be little between them again but if ridden closer to the pace we expect Strong Approach to come out on top this afternoon. Advancement threw off his jockey at the start of his last race but had previously chased home a decent enough type at Redcar. If behaving himself today he should be involved in the finish. Hot Agnes is the only other one worth a mention and so it is not too difficult a task for our selection Stron Approach.
