Verdict
STRATEGIC STRIKE stayed on at the one pace when third over 1m4f last time. The step back in trip looks a wise move on the evidence of his debut close-up fourth at Kempton and Paul Cole's charge gets the nod ahead of Florida Beat. The latter showed some progress when third here last month and should improve past the more exposed Jullander in this. Sian Gwalia has made little impression over longer trips so far and Bold Assertion has finished nearer last than first in both outings at Kempton.
