Gone Dutch has lost his way after a promising seasonal debut at Newbury and QANAN is preferred. The latter beat a couple of subsequent winners when scoring by nearly three lengths over 1m2f here last time and Chris Wall's charge can shrug off a rise in the weights on that evidence. Starwatch failed to cope off a higher mark at Windsor having won at the same track earlier but Back Burner has been placed since scoring at Southwell in April and should be thereabouts once again.
