RUN ON STERLING never looked like catching Miles To Memphis when second at Kempton but the latter has since gone in again. That looks the strongest form on offer and Paul Webber's charge is preferred to Stratford fourth Mazurati. L'Amiral David was well beaten in tougher company at Newbury but can finish closer in this while Closest Friend posted a much better effort at Lingfield last time and has place claims. The newcomer Mr Beatle is related to a couple of bumper winners and any support in the betting could prove significant.
