Verdict

A cracking Strensall Stakes in which Roger Varian's upwardly-mobile 4-y-o ENFJAAR is fancied to claim his biggest win yet and add to his impressive John Smith's Cup victory here. The classic generation are well represented and Nassau runner-up See The Fire could emerge as the main danger, although the reliable Task Force could also have a say along with Alyanaabi now he reverts in trip.
