This is a tricky race for punters to call but Quest On Air, La Gitana and Red Delirium look to be the leading players and the vote is given to Quest On Air. The selection ran well in this grade last time when a close fourth behind Dafa at Southwell, and a reproduction of that effort here would see him go close. Red Delirium is dropped in grade but he looks out-of-sorts at present and even in this company he is difficult to put forward with any confidence. La Gitana was a game winner at Lingfield last time but her trainer thought the polytrack suited her and back on the fibresand she looks worth taking on. Escalade has got the form to win this and he finished just in front of our selection last time, but he is another that might not be at his best on this track and we will stick with Quest On Air as the one they all have to beat.
