Verdict

This strong Listed contest could come down to the two highest rated in the field. Northumberland Plate winner Quest For More has the obvious credentials, but is more exposed than CURBYOURENTHUSIASM, who was a progressive handicapper last year and found more improvement to finish a close second in the Yorkshire Cup last time out and is the one to beat. Mr Singh took a Group 3 contest on his last three-year-old outing but ran poorly on his reappearance, while Suegioo is taking a drop in class and will be in contention but is a rare winner. Roger Varian’s Barsanti will appreciate the step up in trip and has a good chance of making the frame.
