QUEST OF COLOUR has had very little racing but completed a double last summer and will have come on enormously for her run at Ayr a couple of weeks ago where she was in touch for a long way. With that under her belt she can start making up for lost time. Cornborough hasn't shown much since making a winning debut last April but has come down to a more realistic mark while course and distance winner Hussar Ballad is greatly respected after a decent return to Turf at Redcar last week. Nelson's Bay completed a double over a mile at Musselburgh in the spring and is just 2lb higher than his latest victory.
