Quote Unquote is from a stable that merits plenty of respect in these type of events and he is taken to get the better of Indian Agent and Ten Shun. The selection is lightly-raced and she put in an improved effort last time when a decent second over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton behind Babeth. The extra furlong today should help and she looks the percentage call. Indian Agent finished behind our selection last time and although she will also be suited by the step-up to 6f, there is no reason why she should reverse the placings with our selection today. Ten Shun ran well when dropped to this grade last time and with the very capable Graham Gibbons in the plate he is another that has to be of interest on his first try over this trip. Lucy's Lady is from a shrewd yard and is another that is worth noting in the market, but Quote Unquote has plenty in her favour and gets the vote.
