Verdict

THE STRIKIN VIKING had created a big impression at York and enhanced his reputation without quite being able to fend off another excellent prospect when second in the Railway Stakes at the Curragh. This race doesn't look as deep so he is fancied to go one better. Tropical Storm and Billboard Star can place again at this level.
