Verdict

King's Crest has been well placed to land four turf handicaps this season and returns to the all-weather on a very fair mark but has yet to show his effectiveness on this surface and is passed over on this occasion. Quinta Special gained a convincing maiden victory over course and distance last time but faces a stiffer task on this return to handicap company while Kells disappointed badly last time. There is little to choose between Bressbee and Answered Promise with the latter 1lb better for a half-length beating over an extended mile here last month. Hwever, Bressbee showed the more willing attitude to gain the spoils and is the TEAMtalk choice to come out on top once again with the extra furlong sure to be in his favour.
