    Verdict

    MY STRATEGY beat a couple of previous winners by five lengths over course and distance last week and can shrug off a penalty in this. That looks stronger form than First Dream's win over track and trip and the latter has been raised 8lb for his trouble. Madam Midnight will likely improve for a comeback third at Wolverhampton and makes more appeal than the frustrating Sculptured, a beaten favourite at Southwell last time.
