Quillan Hill won well last time and can score again here at the main expense of Amber Warrior and Just Shove It. The selection is a course and distance winner and he scored in impressive fashion when last seen out here. He looks progressive and it should pay to stay on the right side of this unexposed 8-year-old. His chief danger could be Amber Warrior who reportedly bled inside at Catterick last time. That run can therefore be forgiven and he would definitely hold claims on what he had shown previously. Just Shove It is related to the useful Don't Push It and he is of interest on his racecourse debut, especially as the Jonjo O'Neill yard have just started to show signs of coming into form. Treefella hails from a shrewd yard and he could be one to note in the market at a bigger price, but this looks a good opportunity for Quillan Hill who can make it back-to-back wins.
