Most of these have some sort of chance but Junoesque is a Brighton specialist and Quemonda is best on Polytrack and was behind Wholelotafun at Bath last month. Carp Kid is consistent while Cuban Cigar got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton when Wow William was only fourth. Twilight Song has yet to prove he stays this far so a tentative vote goes to CRYSTAL GUARD, who has been running over further but was only beaten half-a-length when last over this trip at Brighton in July and is a pound lower.
