Fast ground suits QUICK FIX and he is our idea of the most likely winner with Coach Lane and Sea Saffron others to make the shortlist. A winner on good ground at Chepstow - he was probably oversold by the handicapper and having misfired on a couple of occasions since; he now is back to a feasible enough mark to be making an impact. Coach Lane finally got his head infront after a number of near misses. He seems capable of showing form on any surface though whether he can follow up under a penalty is another matter entirely. Jimmy Frost tends to do well with his summer team so don't dismiss Sea Saffron. Son, Hadden will take 3lbs off. Mutual Respect has been disappointing while De Luain Gorm attempts to graduate out of the hunter chasing sphere.Bushwhacker is best of the rest. Quick Fix gets the call.
