In depth
Verdict
MASTER DEE made all and never looked in danger of defeat over 3m at Musselburgh last month. He'll look to stretch these as well and should be good enough to defy his penalty. Zermatt has scope but was never travelling and pulled up following a lay-off at Hexham. He has a bit to prove now while Quick Brew appears to have two ways of running. Always Tipsy steps up in trip so Quest Magic may be the pick of the remainder after a comeback second over 2m2f at Kelso.
