Not much quality on show here and we will give a reluctant vote to Quest On Air, Bulberry Hill and Tanning could be the ones to make a race of it. The selection does at least boast some winning form having landed a similar race to this at Lingfield back in March. He was just pipped by today's rival Bulberry Hill over course and distance back in May and it could be close between them again, but Quest On Air is expected to reverse the running today if more forceful tactics are used. Bulberry Hill does save his best efforts for this track and so will be a tough nut to crack. Tanning has had plenty of chances but has to be in with a chance on the pick of her form. A few of these are capable of springing a surprise including Lady Sunrize and Ball Games, but the more solid form credentials are held by Quest On Air who just edges the decision.
