Verdict
A low-grade handicap which looks wide-open. Little separated Weybridge Light and Rock On Bollinski behind Di's Gift at Catterick last time and they look closely matched again. STRIKEMASTER was beaten less than a length by Weybridge Light in an amateurs' contest at Thirsk last month. He's a pound better off here and, with going and distance ideal, can take his revenge. Dalby Spook is actually a pound lower than when scoring under Emma Sayer at Carlisle but this longer trip could be a problem. Roc De Prince isn't out of this if back to his best however.
