Sky Quest should come on for a recent blow out at Nottingham and Walter Swinburn's charge gets the vote here ahead of Folio and Scutch Mill. Walter is having a decent campaign and Sky Quest, who wasn't beaten far in that Nottingham race, does appear to be well treated on his best form. His last winning mark was 84, and although he may have regressed slightly, he still looks on a decent rating. Folio has hit the bar twice this season, both races on soft ground. He shown ability on a faster surface in the past and should make his presence felt this evening. Scutch Mill showed improved form at Lingfield last time and at the right end of the handicap, he could sneak into a place at decent odds. Kylkenny rarely runs a bad race and is another to consider for the places, but with improvement likely, Sky Quest is taken to land first prize.
