Howaboys Quest, Kippanour and Terdad are all on the shortlist but we are happy to take a chance on Howaboys Quest. The gelding from the bang in-form Ferdy Murphy yard has held his form well of late and a reproduction of his latest second behind Loy's Lad will make him hard to beat. Kippanour rates the main danger and won well when defeating Book's Way at Huntingdon last time, however he will find this harder under his penalty. Terdad is game and consistent and is sure to run his race again but he is hard to win with so we are happy to side with Howaboys Quest.
