River Quoile can come out on top in an open contest in which there are plenty of others with chances including Cyanara, Just Jolly, Tudor King and Yakareem. Today's trip of just short of three miles should be just what River Quoile wants judged on past efforts, and he can go one better than when second to Pangeran at Fontwell last month. Still looking for his first career success, he has a good chance with ground and trip in his favour. Cyanara has claims if you ignore his latest effort at Newton Abbot, and off his light weight he could be a danger along with Just Jolly who may feel the benefit of his break. Tudor King is getting a bit long in the tooth but continues to run well. He needs to improve on his latest effort here though. Yakareem was well held by Music To My Ears at Stratford last time but should come on for the run and is yet another to consider, but a tentative vote goes the way of River Quoile.
