Not much separated Tanasoq and Quanah behind Rory here two weeks ago and the pair are closely matched again but JOSHUA R has been going well at Newcastle off similar marks. Helen Cuthbert’s charge should be thereabouts if translating that form back to Turf, though Sixcor wasn’t beaten far at Musselburgh last Saturday, when Stroxx was behind, having won five days earlier at Ayr. Refuge is best watched at present.
