Leo Luna made all at Warwick two runs ago but took little interest next time at Haydock and is a moody individual. Quite By Chance's latest second at Chepstow is probably the best piece of recent form on offer and he's very consistent, though the faster going may not be his ideal. HOWLONGISAFOOT will enjoy the quicker surface, however, and is now only 2lb higher than when successful over as similar trip at Taunton in the autumn, not taking into account Harry Cobden's claim. As De Fer beat Quite By Chance at Wincanton in February but is now worse off at the weights and this looks too sharp for Dont Do Mondays. Simply Wings is better with more give in the ground.
