GOBLET OF FIRE has taken a while to come to hand but he’s already got two wins under his belt this term and the idea of a third does not appear fanciful. Bit Of A Quirke is a course specialist and he ran with credit on his most recent appearance in July. Western Beat was ahead of the latter when the pair met six days previously and the Easterbys will be hoping the mare can secure her first race on Turf. Lincoln Rockstar proved a little disappointing in a handicap at Ripon last week and is tried in a visor while Quoteline Direct has proved capable of outperforming his odds in the past so the veteran cannot be ruled out of the equation.
