Desert Strike found only one too good the last time he raced over track and trip and has every chance in this. Where's Reiley went close at Goodwood last time and finished ahead of Steelcut and LOVE YOU LOUIS over course and distance last month. However, the latter is taken to reverse that form with Richard Hughes taking over the reins today and it could be his turn again. Modern Lady usually finds at least one too good off her current mark but still makes more appeal than the remaining pair.
