Verdict
Courtandbould was picked off at Stratford when shouldering a double penalty and it may be a similar case here as QULOOB justified strong market support over slightly further here nine days ago and his stable is in cracking form. Bob Pebble fell at the first at Newton Abbot so may need confidence restoring but Kannapolis has had a pipe-opener on the Flat, though was beaten a long way when third at Doncaster at the start of the year.
