Quite an attractive contest for the grade with FOLK TUNE taken to prevail in what looks a three-cornered battle. John Quinn's entire scored with plenty in hand dropped into this grade for the first time at Hexham in April and has since performed with credit when placed on both subsequent outings on the level. His tactical speed can prove decisive. Rushwee seemed to run above himself at Newton Abbot last time but won't be the first or last to show marked improvement under the tutelage of Tim Vaughan. He rates an obvious danger, as does Chrysander. Very effective at claiming level, Evan Williams' charge deserves strong consideration dropped into selling company for the first time.
