French imports Celebre D'Allen and Dalyotin are both worth a market check but this is a very competitive finale. Quest For Life ran well behind Saturday’s Newbury winner Earlofthecotswolds at Wetherby and Bold Plan has a touch of class. The well-backed Goobinator and OSPREY CALL were still travelling with purpose when falling at Bangor and Newbury respectively. The latter could be the pick of the weights in this ahead of Enemy Coast Ahead, who remains unexposed in handicaps, and Gran Luna, who is making his handicap debut. The Brimming Water, Theme Tune, Grizzly James and Homme Public are others who catch the eye.
