Sametegal was conceding 3lb to KASHMIR PEAK when beaten a length in a Grade 2 at Doncaster in December and connections will fancy their chances of turning the tables off level weights here. But you could argue that John Quinn's charge has the greater scope so we'll take him to confirm the form and complete his hat-trick. Docs Legacy won a jumpers' bumper at Wolverhampton last week but is still a maiden over hurdles while Tidal Way has already been sent down the handicapping route and that's where his future lies. It's difficult to make a case for any of the other three.
