A dual winner on the level, Baasem is worth a market check returning from an absence. Quid Pro Quo ran twice in bumpers, winning on his debut. He’ll strip fitter for a recent run at Huntingdon but OSLO has hurdling experience and, despite having a first outing since November, may come good at the third time of asking. None of the others make much appeal on the form they’ve shown to date.
