        Verdict

        Rated 81, QUTOB has faced tougher tasks than this in novice races recently. Placed in all six starts so far, he’s been gelded since finishing second at Pontefract and Charlie Hills’ charge should be winning this. He’s weighted to beat Dubrava, placed here on her penultimate start but Aluqair may give the selection more to think about having found only one too good at Wolverhampton on his reappearance. Soft Cover showed improvement at Chepstow last time and has an apprentice’s allowance helping her cause in this.
