Verdict

STRAIT OF HORMUZ got the better of a pair of upwardly mobile sorts when winning on return/yard debut at Haydock (1m) and likely would have made more of an impact granted a stronger gallop when midfield at Ascot subsequently. The step up to 1¼m is well worth exploring and he gets the nod from a handy draw. Highwaygrey is much improved this term and feared, along with another 3-y-o Berkshire Savvy.

  1. STRAIT OF HORMUZ (IRE)

  3. BERKSHIRE SAVVY
