Verdict
Strategic Heights is a rare winner nowadays but did score off a higher mark at Dundalk when trained in Ireland and went close at Lingfield recently. Everkyllachy was beaten less than a length over 5f at Wolverhampton last time but COMPTON PRINCE returned to winning ways at Lingfield and given he won last year’s renewal off a similar mark, Milton Bradley’s charge gets the vote to go in again. Fairway To Heaven will be winning off his current mark before long while Light From Mars and Fantasy Justifier are others reasonably treated on past form.
