Several of these arrive with decent claims. That list includes Quickaswecan as he bids for a hat-trick under a penalty. He is upped in class for this along with Wetherby runner-up Ypres, however, but Verus Delicia finished closer in this grade at Leicester last time. By contrast, See The Storm drops down a grade along with BOP IT (NAP). The latter has the best recent form with a third at York and Geoff Oldroyd's charge gets the vote to come good having tumbled 18lb down the weights this year.
