Tanrudy never threatened the winner when second at Hexham and is proving hard to win with but Write It Down has now been successful three times over the larger obstacles following last month’s victory at Warwick. NO QUARTER ASKED had only three rivals at Ffos Las but was a relatively easy winner so a 2lb rise might not prevent a follow-up with Kingston King penalised for landing the odds over a much longer trip at Newton Abbot. Cape Robin looks best of the rest.
