Lexington Abbey wasn't beaten far on his reappearance but has a wide draw to contend with here. Fiftyshadesofgrey will also do well to figure starting wide on the course and likewise Chorlton Manor, but Quickaswecan should be able to grab a good position and is preferred to Sacha Park. Jazz and THE HOODED CLAW both finished behind Lexington Abbey at Doncaster last month but the latter was noted staying on strongly in the closing stages and could have the race run to suit here. He'll need a bit of luck off the home turn but could come out on top if finding the gaps. Kickboxer could also figure given luck in-running.
