Sun Quest is starting to look a light of former days while it's difficult to make a case for either Bahumbug or Jumeirah Liberty. But Bach On Tow was in front when falling at the last at Fontwell in November, though has been raised 7lb since. Dont Call Me Oscar is on a hat-trick but only beat SADMA by a length-and-a-quarter over track and trip on Boxing Day and the runner-up is now 15lb better off. It will be a shock if the top weight doesn't reverse that form on today's terms, despite an ordinary effort next time at Plumpton.
