Verdict
Genever Dragon had leading claims in the 2.40 Stratford yesterday but Donald McCain also has the consistent four-year-old Never No Trouble entered. STRIPE OF HONOUR beat Kapitaliste by 12 lengths over track and trip last month with subsequent runs coming over further. He only weakened at the last at Southwell latest. Sheila Nash could figure if fully wound-up and Stiletto remains unexposed. Haveyougotmymoney and Valentine Getaway looks the pick of the remainder.
