Verdict

My Renaissance was on his best behaviour when third here at the start of the month but he is a bit of an enigma. Goldencard has gone up 7lb for winning at Fontwell and Joly Maker makes more appeal having got his head back in front at Huntingdon given he placed off higher marks last year. NO QUARTER ASKED had a bit in hand when beating three rivals at Ffos Las and, only six, is one of the least exposed in this.
