Squadron goes from strength to strength and can fly in here again ahead of of Duty Free and Jawaaneb. Amanda Perrett's charge is chasing a hat-trick following vctories at Goodwood and Salisbury. There was a lot to like about his attitude in those contests and he will prove a tough nut to crack this evening. Duty Free is also on a three- timer having landed a couple of decent enough races. However this does appear more of a test and he may have to settle for some place money this time around. Jawaaneb has put in two solid efforts since landing a Warwick maiden and should be in the firing line again. All in all a very competitive handicap, but Squadron should be up to landing the spoils.
