Verdict
Marju's Quest has won over the track and trip but is probably better over shorter distances and a recent second over Market Rasen came over fences. Tidal Watch bids for a four-timer and did actually win off this mark at Uttoxeter two runs ago. He seems sure to be in the firing-line but we’ll take a chance on SHEELBEWHATSHEELBE who has joined Dan Skelton and had wind surgery since an encouraging run at Huntingdon in May when she had recent winner Ruaraidh Hugh, now 2lb worse off, behind. Clearly Capable saves his best for Newton Abbot.
