FIERCE AND STRONG (6) won last start over 5½f at Listed level at Monmouth Park (Turf), making it three victories from three appearances this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. HEAVY POUR (7) produced a good effort last start over this trip at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 3.5 lengths. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in seven starts, including four wins and three placings. Best form puts him right in this. JOHN DUTTON (3) was an effortless winner last time over 6f at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 4.5 lengths. Should be prominent from the low draw. Will be in this for a long way. DYLAN'S RUBY (2) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 0.1 lengths into second over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Penn National (Turf). F Pennington who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Not to be discounted.
