QUELUZ (NAP) has been running very well and his last victory on this track was from 2lb higher so he looks certain to go well again. He looks the safest option as though Mulzamm won a Lingfield handicap for Godolphin off a mark of 93 and is 46lb lower here, that was three years ago and he failed to take advantage of an even lower mark last month. Wild Shot was only just behind in that latter race on his first start since May so he could turn the tables with Danny Sheehy's claim a bonus. Above Us Only Sky has never won though his best runs have been on this track while another maiden, Spanish Soprano, seems best over further.
