Having looked potentially high class when making a winning reappearance at Newmarket in the spring, SABER STRIKE is probably best not judged on his latest Jersey Stakes sixth 7 days ago (perhaps not ideally placed down the middle). It looks significant his top yard opts to turn him out quickly and, in receipt of weight all round, could be the answer. C&D Group 1 winner Never So Brave had excuses on account of worsening ground at Epsom last time and is expected to play a lead role also.
