Engrave has won one of these events off a higher mark in the past and a leading amateur is on board while Quoteline Direct was placed in amateur races on the Turf back in August. Stormingin drops down in trip with a shout but VILLALOBOS may prove the one to side with. He won over a shorter trip before going close again over today’s distance at Lingfield and Taryn Langley’s allowance further helps his cause.
