It's a bit of a surprise to see MARJU'S QUEST dropping into this grade, though he has been out of sorts of late. However, he still has at least 7lb in hand on these rivals. Black Iceman may be the danger as he won his maiden over track and trip and is lightly-raced over timber. Monte Wildhorn was a close-up fourth in a handicap here in June but Roja Dove has already been beaten in sellers this summer and Goldie Horn has been chasing.
