New Strategy is probably the class act in this but he has the weight to match and also has his stamina to prove, as does Mister Musicmaster. Moojaned was only beaten a head at Lingfield last time and has won twice over course and distance. He beat Allnecessaryforce here in April, though was behind Zambeasy subsequently. Baadi easily won a maiden here on his reappearance but the handicapper has taken no chances. Weald Of Kent is best at Southwell while Biotic was behind Mister Musicmaster over 1m2f here last time. PRIORS BROOK needed his first run last year and made a promising comeback over course and distance three weeks ago. Edward Greatrex' claim could give him the edge in a tricky finale.
