Verdict
Strawberry Patch comes into this on the back of an excellent effort behind the unexposed Seel Of Approval, is a fast time at Kempton earlier in the week, while Roses Of Spring bounced back to form when defeating a useful yardstick in Be My Tinker at Leicester on Monday. Penalised 6lb for that effort, she faces no easy task, but she is a tough front-running filly and looks sure to give a good account. However, the vote goes to Undeterred, for whom the ground cannot be fast enough and he will be well suited by the likely strong pace.
