In depth
Verdict
Strong Arrow gets a 6lb pull for the six length beating inflicted on him by Jackem at Fakenham last time and there should be very little to choose between the pair here, but they may both have to give best to the Philip Hobbs trained Brockton Mist. The ex-Irish gelding ran well at Southwell last time when second to Sonofafushi and is sure to be straighter for the outing. His stable continues to be in great form and he could well prove hard to beat in this finale. This Thyne has been a constant disappointment but must be showing something at home to keep attracting support on the track. Maybe the step up in trip will bring out the best in her.
