Verdict
QUAZY DE JOIE looks the one to be with despite shouldering topweight. Always in control when scoring with plenty to spare at Southwell under the champion jockey, Jonjo O' Neill's charge looks comfortably the best horse on view here and can supplement those Nottinghamshire gains. Wait No More could be the one to benefit should the selection fail to fire as he's only had the two runs over larger obstacles and there should be more to come. He looks well treated off his current mark. Or Sing About failed to follow up his Plumpton success when a well beaten favourite at Fakenham but still looks next best if returning to the level of that victory.
