This looks between the two heading the weights with QUADRIGA preferred. He is penalised for last week's victory over a mile here but was well in command 2f from home on that occasion and this shorter trip should not be too much of an inconvenience. Trust Me Boy scored over track and trip in January and ran well again for second here last time with Game Mascot well beaten. He should figure but the remainder are harder to fancy unless Bison Grass proves suited to the Fibresand having tumbled down the weights.
