Verdict

QUERCUS ROBUR was beaten over a shorter trip here recently though gets another chance on an earlier success over course and distance when he had Misscarlett back in third and Kitten's Dream and Freewheelin well beaten. Glory And Honour is a bumper and hurdles winner and landed a double over 1m4f on the Flat in August while Yagan has won over 1m6f and cheekpieces are applied today.
