TRUST SERGEI has progressed with each of his 3 starts in handicaps, making it back-to-back wins when scoring with a bit in hand at Doncaster last time, so he could be capable of landing the hat-trick. He is taken to see off the challenge of Thurso, who has shown improved form since being gelded, with City of Strangers completing the shortlist.
