Verdict
STRATEGICAL was long odds-on when easily landing a Yarmouth maiden 11 days ago and will be a short price in this, despite carrying a penalty. He should have few problems doubling his tally. Rebel Code was well beaten when third at Musselburgh but had shown promise on the Polytrack at Lingfield on his debut and looks the one for forecast-backers as Sing Out Sister has shown little so far.
