Quiana should be capable of better and Envol De La Cour is back on a winning mark. Brown Bullet is back in calmer waters having finished fourth in a Class 2 last time at Newbury but That Ole Chestnut was a disappointing favourite when last seen at Uttoxeter in December. C'est Quelqu'un is tried in blinkers after finishing third at Chepstow but heavy going would not have suited BALKARDY at Wetherby and the Exeter winner can bounce back here.
