Razldazl Barkley is a fascinating runner tonight. He arrives from Star Pelaw where he produced back-to-back performances of 90 and 87 — figures that would be head and shoulders above anything else in this field. His last run at Star Pelaw was a disappointing third from the rail with a 73, but even that figure is competitive at this level. The big question is whether he can reproduce those huge numbers on the Hove surface, which is bumpier and plays differently to his home track. He has three course and distance runs to fall back on, and his trainer Holloway operates at an impressive 28% strike rate. From trap 3, which sits just below the 20% mark for A1 at Hove, he'll need a clean first bend — but if he runs anywhere near his best, he has the raw class to dominate this field.
