It’s a surprise to see QUADRILLER (NAP) dropping into a seller given he defied market expectations when landing a handicap here nine days ago following a lengthy absence. He’s the pick of the weights so should take all the beating again if that run hasn’t emptied the tank. Bonobo has been chasing but certainly has the past form to figure and is tried in cheekpieces today. Buble won a maiden here in July and a claimer at Worcester last month but has to concede weight all round. Neither Bohemian Rhapsody nor Lightentertainment are as good as they once were.
