Verdict
Soldiers Quest disappointed in a Hamilton claimer last time but looks well worth another chance today dropped into selling company and back on the Polytrack, getting the vote over Dr Dream and Brastar Jelois. The last mentioned ran better at Beverley last time but remains on a long losing sequence so may be best watched at present. Forever Autumn has yet to win a race and it is hard to see that trend being changed even in this lowly grade, while Rock Haven needs to improve on recent form to take a hand. Hook Money is less exposed than most of these but has given little sign of encouragement so far and of more interest may be Dr Dream who has shown improved form since being dropped into this grade in his last two starts. Soldiers Quest has solid claims though and should be too classy for his rivals.
