Verdict

Victory Quest, Three Boars and Hora make the shortlist and we are with Victory Quest. Sue Lamyman's stayer reserves his best work for this track and he could be named the winner of a race over 1m6f at the Nottinghamshire venue on Saturday with some way to go. Chris Catlin is booked in an effort to defy a penalty. Three Boars proved a real disappointment on Friday when turned over at long odds-on. He may have been caught out by a drop in trip and should go better over today's two miles. Hora lost her action at Wolverhampton in October and is surely capable of better. Mister Completely seldom runs a bad race but is probably well exposed as a consequence. Moon Emperor appears on the downgrade while Letham Island took a recent hurdles race at Hereford in some style. A fair race on paper and Victory Quest can follow up his recent success.
