QUWS LAW is the selection ahead of Great Approach and Treasured Memories. Admittedly Quws Law never does anything particularly quickly but he has always looked a staying type ocer fences and now is his chance to put his marker down among the cream of the Northern crop. Great Approach acts under testing conditions. Traditionally he has tended to need his first run hence why we'll be playing elsewhere. Treasured Memories has modest hurdling form though two falls in two chasing starts hardly inspires confidence. Athollbrose is exposed as poor. Silver Breese and The Rede Mouse have been beaten by cricket scores in their most recent racecourse appearances. Quws Law is the call in a race that has plenty of deadwood despite a lack of numbers.
