Verdict
STRIKE RED (NAP) has hit top form and finished in front of Emperor Spirit when scoring at Wolverhampton two runs ago. He followed that success with an even better effort at York and looks worth sticking with in this. Aramis Grey won at Chelmsford recently but this is tougher while Apollo One placed at the same track when ahead of Tiger Crusade and Tolstoy. Tyger Bay went close in a lower grade at Catterick recently but it was heavy ground when Aberama Gold won at Ayr last month.
