Verdict
The ability to handle the ground will be important for these youngsters and Move To Strike has no problems on that score having won his maiden at the Curragh by 9l on testing going. He'll attract good support for this and looks certain to get competitive while Tha'Ir is another likely to be well backed after his very easy victory over subsequent winner Bircham at Ripon. Jalaa also looked a nice type when the Richard Hannon-trained colt scored on ground with some give at Leicester and there's certain to be more to come from him while the experience of Chilworth Icon, who has a Listed penalty for his victory at Epsom, will be beneficial in these conditions. LOVELY PASS was very green on her debut at Lingfield last month and didn't enjoy the fast ground. She looked as though there was much more to come that day and, as her dam was a Group 2 winner over a mile, she should be ideally suited by the step-up in trip and gets the vote.
