In depth
Verdict
Quite a competitive handicap and not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, Sky Quest arrives here bang in-form and is given another chance to add to his tally. Crispey Brook has looked held by the assessor in his two latest starts so Polish Corridor and Blue Star are taken to give the selection the most to do. But both will need to be on their metal if Sky Quest is in the same frame of mind to when he battled his way to victory at Bath earlier in the season. He has run up to a similar level in both his subsequent starts and there is no reason to suspect that he will not be on the premises again today.
