      Verdict

      Quest For More and Buckland are similar in that both went close over today's trip before failing to figure over 1m6f last time. Both look a threat but LE MAITRE CHAT may prove too good. The latter was beaten only a head at Ffos Las on his handicap debut and has plenty of scope for improvement. Jelly Fish found the progressive Moscato too good at Yarmouth and is preferred to recent Chester winner Snowy Dawn and the ex-Irish Fire Fighter, who is having his first start since July. Ex Oriente and Sir Frank Morgan are both struggling to get their heads in front off their current marks.
