Quest For More failed to cope with a 6lb rise for an earlier win at Leicester when ending last season with a couple of placed efforts. But he should be scoring again this term and makes more appeal than Kleitomachos, who remains 6lb higher than when winning this in 2012. Burnham also looks in the handicapper's grip but all-weather winner Luv U Whatever can race off a 7lb lower mark back on this surface with Oisin Murphy's allowance further helping his cause. LADY LUNCHALOT continues to improve and won with a bit to spare at Lingfield last month. There may be more to come from her having only her fourth start on Turf and Laura Mongan's mare rates the selection.
