Black Friday was impressive over 7f at Musselburgh, leading 2f out and quickening clear, so the drop in trip won't be a problem. QUICK LOOK is smart on his day, as he was when landing this two years ago, and led 2f out before staying on strongly on soft ground at Chester. He's only 5lb higher and can complete a double, though course and distance winner Captain Jameson was only caught in the dying strides over 7f here last time so has to be respected. The selection's stable companion Airglow won this last year and looked on the way back at Southwell last week while Jewel Maker has been finding 5f too sharp so is another to consider in a wide-open handicap.
