In good form during the winter following up a victory on turf at Yarmouth (heavy) in October with four consecutive placed efforts. Disappointed at Lingfield (1m4f) in February however but remains of interest having run well here in the past.

12 race maiden was sent off a triple figure price when pulled up on hurdles and stable debut at Newcastle (2m, good-to-soft) in December 2018. Probably best watched in first time blinkers on Flat return following over 18 months off the track.

Ended last year with a 15½L fifth in a 1m4f handicap at Southwell at the end of October. Races off a mark 1lb lower than for his sole previous sucess but others appear to hold more obvious claims.

Failed to figure in two starts since being gelded and switched to handicaps including in first time blinkers (absent here) at Yarmouth last October. Hopes appear to lie with the step up in trip suiting on his first start since wind surgery.

Ran well when finishing 3L third in a 1m4f handicap at Kempton at the start of February. Disappointed dropped back to an extended 1m1f here nine days later however and better expected on his return to this distance.

Winner over this trip at Kempton last August but finished well beaten in a 1m3f handicap on his return to Flat racing there in February. Others make more appeal with a tongue tie tried for the first time.

Decent effort in finishing 3½L fifth in a 1m2f handicap at Kempton in January. Changed stables since and is an interesting runner on his return to this trip.

Lightly-raced isnce winning over this trip at Thirsk (good-to-soft) in August 2018 and is probably best watched on his first outing since finishing 4½L fifth at Southwell (1m3f) in December of that year.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt when victorious in a handicap over an extended 1m1f here in March. Well held when upped to this distance at Kempton a week later but not written off just yet.

Maiden after six starts but ran well when finishing 1½L third in a handicap over an extended 1m1f here in February. Interesting returned to this venue and upped in trip following a heavy defeat over 1m3f at Southwell subsequently.

Has had just two Flat starts since winning over 1m6f at Salisbury (good-to-firm) in May last year. Struggled in a heavy ground handicap hurdle at Plumpton (2m) in February and others hold more obvious claims.

Forecasts

Gold Standard (13/8), Cuba Ruba (5/1), Cheng Gong (6/1), Strict (17/2), Lauberhorn Rocket (11/1), Sir Gnet (12/1), Aunt Helen (12/1), Global Rock (16/1), Jenny Ren (16/1), Your Thoughts (16/1), Oborne Lady (40/1), Tommy Shelby (150/1)

Verdict

STRICT should appreciate the return to this trip and he can provide Mick Appleby with a victory in the final race on the card the second division of the 1m4f handicap. The selection showed good form over this trip on his penultimate outing and can get the better of Sir Gnet who is another likely to appreciate the return to this distance while third place can go to top weight Cheng Gong who recorded a number of placed efforts on the AW during the winter.
