Quest For Fun wasn’t beaten that far when only sixth over 7f here and drops down in trip along with Tiny Danser, fourth over 7f at the track last month. But KRATOS finished runner-up over course and distance on his debut and Roger Varian’s colt may be the one to side with given normal progress. Carbon Positive has faced tougher tasks and Newmarket and Ascot so far while Hugsy is related to several winners and is a newcomer to note along with Tributo.
