Mighty Strong appears to be very much on the upgrade and is handed the TEAMtalk vote. Nicky Henderson's charge confirmed the promise of a previous placed effort when a highly impressive nine-lengths winner over this trip at Southwell last week despite being heavily eased in the closing stages and looks one to follow. Be My Manager is best watched on his first start since falling at Sandown last December but recent Newton Abbot winner (now 8lb higher) Thyne Will Tell will prove a big danger with conditions to suit once again.
