Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThe Strikin Viking rates 3 lb below the top-rated Palmar Bay on these figures, yet it is his progressive profile that makes him the more compelling proposition at this stage of his career, suggesting there is more improvement to come on good ground over Chester's testing seven furlongs. Palmar Bay remains the most obvious threat given his loftier rating, with Roman Dragon and Power Fizz also capable of making their presence felt in what looks a competitive Class 2 contest. **The Strikin Viking** is our selection.
