Philip Hobbs lightly raced STRONG PURSUIT was a huge eye-catcher on return at Sandown where he burst clear only to blow up and finish third. He ought to strip fitter here and a tongue-tie may also help when the going gets tough late on so he gets the vote off the same mark. Improving Classic Ben rates the biggest threat with this longer trip expected to bring about further improvement. Joe Farrell should go much better now in what could be his prep for a repeat bid in the Scottish National.
