Quadriga landed a classified event here last week and should figure again with an apprentice's 5lb claim helping his cause. But Minstrel Lad steps back up in trip after a third over a mile at Kempton and is just preferred. Attain has a shout off his current mark while Rock Diamond landed a seller at Windsor back in July and has her first start for a new trainer. A winner in Germany, KOOS has joined Marco Botti and it would be no surprise if she turns out good enough to make a winning start for her new yard in this lowly company.
