Key Strong should take all the beating here with Forzeen and Katie Boo put forward as the principle dangers. The selection is in great heart at present and is seeking a fourth consecutive win here. She won in good style in a hot nursery at York last time when defeating Right Answer. Right Answer was subsequently not disgraced in a Group 3 race at Ascot so the form looks rock solid. Forzeen found trouble in running behind Bibury Flyer so might be worth a second chance here as he had previously shown a good level of form. Katie Boo is a nice filly who looks to be progressing well. She ran with great credit when second behind Mimi Mouse at York last time and it will be a surprise if she is not good enough to make the frame. Pro Tempore won well last time so is the other worth a second look in the market, but Key Strong looks a filly worth keeping on the right side of and as such she is taken to score.
