Verdict
Jeremy Gask's runners both have claims with Never A Quarrel open to improvement on her handicap bow and Exkaliber expected to have come on for his recent reappearance at Southwell. But MEGALEKA may just edge this as she scored at Nottingham last month and went close on this surface before that. Course and distance winner Little Eli may figure and Sabrina's Secret posted her best effort so far at this track in July.
