First Quest remains 6lb higher than when scoring at Plumpton in January though recently won on the Flat at Windsor. Tidal Watch and Jacbequick have also been competing on the level with the latter preferred off his current mark but King Muro was well beaten last time having won a lower grade contest at Plumpton earlier. SO LONELY (NAP) bids for a hat-trick having completed a double at Huntingdon recently - Dan Skelton’s mare gets the vote with a conditional’s allowance negating a 7lb penalty.
