Strong Side won in good style last time and has every chance with a repeat. He’s taken to reverse earlier running with Blended Lute given the latter has drawn on the outside while Union Rebel is capable of better than he showed when only fifth here last month. But Jon Arnett’s yard is flying at present and runs two with YAH YAH SIR preferred to Edge Of Ackworth bidding for a hat-trick having won both starts so far this year.
