Marju's Quest bids to follow up last month's defeat of a subsequent winner here but this is a much stronger race and he's 4lb higher. Fourth Estate isn't out of this on ground that will suit and he makes more appeal than Norfolk Sky and Ffos Las runner-up Get Home Now. Mr Maynard disappointed last time while this could be too hot for Taste The Wine and stablemate Fuzzy Logic. HALLING'S WISH (NAP) won on the Flat at Bath eight days ago and has a first and a second here to his name. He's still progressing and can score again for an in-form yard.
