Quiet Bob scored over 3m5f at Warwick last March but hasn't been seen since pulling up lame at Haydock the following month and is best watched for now. Dromore Hil has rarely been one to trust implicitly and never got going at Chepstow after a couple of decent runs earlier. He'd have a chance on a going day while another with a poor recent effort to put behind her, Marias Rock, produced a winning run at Plumpton earlier that would give her a very good chance here. Run To Fly was beaten a long way at Folkestone so this should go to CANAL BANK, who has improved dramatically since stepping up in trip and for the application of headgear and is capable of further progress.
