Plenty with claims on these terms but STRATEGIC HEIGHTS was runner-up in a similar contest over the minimum trip here on his penultimate start and has won over 6f in the past. Sarabi was also placed over track and trip recently and Morache Music was third in plating company at Wolverhampton last month. Ace Master is a course and distance winner and could figure but Captain Bob was well beaten on the Fibresand last time and Bernie's Boy is preferred having won a soft-ground claimer at Catterick during the summer.
