Verdict
Mister Barclay just did enough to return to winning ways at Ffos Las in November and has to be of interest on his return to the fray. Juggernaut has found one too good the last twice and is respected, but the one who appeals most is STRIKING A POSE. Joe Tizzard's veteran made every yard of the running to score over track and trip last month and can go in again.
Expert View Verdict
Striking A Pose cashed in on a much reduced mark last time and remains very well treated on his old form so looks the safest option here. However he could find SUPREME YEATS even better handicapped here. He's now dropped 3lb below his last winning mark and though he's been struggling for some time he has been racing over inadequate trips. Now stepped back up to his optimum distance on favourable summer ground a revival is predicted. The consistent but frustrating Juggernaut can complete the places.
