Verdict
Shane Kelly partnered PRESTO BOY when the latter went close at Lingfield in between a couple of poor efforts. They may well go one better reunited for this. Tasaaboq was beaten less than a length the last time he raced over track and trip in January while Multi Quest found one too good here three weeks ago though he never threatened the winner. Diamond Sam just missed out at Kempton earlier off today's mark and is another to consider.
