Verdict

Once again, three of these runners were engaged to run on Wednesday so their performances need reviewing but QUINDER SPRING is the tentative suggestion with No More Prisoners and Strong Rebel amongst the dangers. The winner of a French bumper, Quinder Spring, has plenty to prove on the form that he has shown for his current connections but he only had a handful of starts last term. The outings were not entirely devoid of promise and he may prove capable of better this term; the market can guide. The market certainly pointed the way to Strong Rebel when he made a winning debut in a bumper at this track but things haven't gone according to plan since. He looks well treated if he can ever fulfil that initial promise and, once again, the market could be useful. No More Prisoners disappointed last time but ran well enough on his penultimate start to merit inclusion on the short-list whilst last time out winners Wensleydale Web and Solway Bay cannot be ignored. There are plenty of unexposed runners in this line-up though and we're prepared to take a chance with one of their number in Quinder Spring.
