With the majority of these struggling to win off their current marks, STRABOE looks to have every chance of landing his hat-trick. He's not got the best of draws but that was also the case when he won here a fortnight ago and Stuart Williams charge is taken to continue his winning ways. Shawkantango finished a couple of lengths behind him last time and may be best on Fibresand, but We'll Deal Again is weighted to reverse earlier form with the selection. However, the latter has yet to win in 21 starts and Yankee Storm and Kylladdie could prove bigger dangers.
