Arctic Flower won at Windsor two runs ago but is not as effective on the all-weather. QUICK RECOVERY is on a long losing run but appeared to enjoy the step up to a mile at Chelmsford last week and has clearly dropped to a lenient mark. He has the inside draw here and can resume winning ways as stablemate Duke Of North has not fared as well with his starting position. Pearl Spectre is arguably better over shorter trips but Annakonda is probably better than he’s shown so far.
