Verdict

STRIVE FOR GLORY made a winning start at Newcastle and ran well again when third in Listed company at Sandown despite failing to get a clear run. Bob Cowell’s colt is the one to beat on that form and preferred to She Looks Like Fun. The latter was placed at Doncaster on her debut and should figure with normal progress but My Kinda Day has plenty of improving to do after a modest start at York last time. Bill Neigh is related to winning sprinters and preferred to stablemate Fluttershy of the newcomers.
