    Verdict

    Quick gets the call here ahead of Better Moment and Papillon de Iena. Tony McCoy teaming up with David Pipe on a horse that is rated 28 pounds better than the best of his opponents that have achieved a rating all adds up to Quick having to be the selection in the seller. Dropping to this grade for the first time, Finished Article, who has shown some promise in two hurdling starts, might go well, while Papillon de Iena, Better Moment and Ess Of Norway all have similar ratings, although the last-named of the trio has not run for 858 days. Once again, though, Quick is the selection.
