After Me Boys, Good Man Again and Quick pose the main contenders in this race with Quick getting the nod. Martin pipes charge had an outing on the flat last time out and although a beaten favourite at Bath that day his previous form looks the best in this race. He drops down in grade after running well in big handicaps and with the Champ on board gets the vote. Good Man Again comes from a yard in form and his third at Exeter last time out was a good effort so is worth noting. After Me Boys has been a little disappointing of late but if back to his best could get prize money. But for the winner we return to Quick.
