      Verdict

      PRECISION STRIKE continues to progress and recorded his ninth win when successful over 1m6f at Haydock last time. He should see out today's longer distance and is worth sticking with dropping down a grade. Air Squadron is another on the up after opening his account at Salisbury and should be thereabouts. Kodacil won over 2m on the Flat at Ripon last year and can race off the same mark today while course and distance winner Jawaab has won twice over hurdles this year and should also go well.
