LOADED QUIVER was fancied to open his account at Yarmouth last week but came out second best in a scrap to the line. He gets another chance if settling better in the early part of the race and has the beating of Al Shabab on collateral form. Drink Dry may get involved with in-form apprentice Morgan Cole’s allowance helping his cause while Miguel and Compton Bay are other likely improvers and the newcomer Hope Joanna is worth a second glance.
