QUEST FOR FUN has gone the closest of these having missed out by only a neck over track and trip last month. Julie Camacho’s charge looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence. Spinning Rainbows and Whittle Le Woods made only moderate debuts at the track though look likely improvers along with Sir Titus, who steps up from 5f. Zenzero and Mummy Bear are others with scope while Chillsea is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and a newcomer to note.
