Verdict
Litigant landed a double on the all-weather early last year but hasn't raced since and York winner Continuum also returns from a lengthy absence. Oasis Fantasy ran well over 1m4f at Ascot a fortnight ago and will figure if staying the distance but there are no doubts about the ability of QUEST FOR MORE to last home. The latter scored over 2m in October and went within a head of catching Astronereus over 1m4f at Newmarket on his comeback. He gets the vote, though Jacob Cats and Le Maitre Chat are also expected to go well.
