A fascinating nursery that may fall to Qutang, Glenrowan and Twinned should also be involved in the finish. The Willie Haggas trained gelding has improved with each run, culminating in a third to Fast Bowler at Yarmouth. He showed up well for much of that six furlong event and so the drop back to the minimum should be ideal. Glenrowan disappointed last time out at Salisbury, but her previous effort at Lingfield when only two lengths behind Hill Of Grace looks pretty decent form and this well bred filly could go close at a decent price. Twinned has earned top-weight with some solid performances and will be difficult to keep out of the money. Musical Romance has also put in some solid displays and may do best of the others, however Qutang is going the right way and looks the best option.
