        Verdict

        Strike Force should be up to landing this claimer with River Prince and Power Alert the most likely dangers. The selection was not beaten all that far in a handicap at Southwell last time and in this grade today and from a good draw he should be good enough. River Prince won a seller in good style at Lingfield last time but he did get the race run to suit that day and the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Power Alert spoiled his chance by hanging left under pressure last time and he is another who should find this trip a little on the sharp side. Pat Will is sure to fare better here now that she returns to the minimum trip after running poorly over 6f last time. However, she will need to improve to get competitive and for the winner we will nominate Strike Force.
