    Verdict

    QUAILS HOLLOW has so much in hand with today's rivals that he looks sure to start at long odds-on. Recent placed efforts at Chester and Southwell is easily the best form on show and Willie Haggas' charge should have little trouble opening his account. Elk Trial is next best on official figures, but hasn't raced on the Flat for nearly two years, while the remaining pair have little worthwhile form to speak of and no chance on today's terms.
