Recent winners Shaloo Diamond, Falcon's Reign and Cosmic Moon all scored in testing ground last time and it remains to be seen if they can reproduce the same form on today's surface. It won't be a problem for STRIKE FORCE, however, as he went close on the Polytrack last time and won under today's amateur on fast ground at Newbury last season. Jack Dawkins seems to save his best for Southwell nowadays but the veteran Scamperdale has claims off his current mark with Serene Brotherton taking the ride.
