It’s obviously a major concern that STRATEGIC HEIGHTS has only been placed once in 13 runs on Turf but this is such a poor claimer that the Dundalk specialist may well be the one to beat. Arlecchino's Rock is also still a maiden on this surface but rates a danger on these terms and Alans Pride ran his best race for a long time in a handicap here last month. Mags Well is far less exposed than the majority of these and the Wolverhampton fourth is worth a market check.
