Brave Quest gets the vote here with Fine Ruler and Right Option rated as the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when getting the better of Best Selection at Folkestone. Fine Ruler finished back in third that day having raced far too keenly so Mick Channon's 3-year-old could be capable of better than he showed that day, but Brave Quest remains open to plenty of improvement and he looks capable of getting his head in front again. Right Option was clearly suited by the step-up to this trip at Kempton last time when chasing home Sweet World. However, he had plenty of chances and Simon Dow's 3-year-old is likely to find a couple too good here today. King Of The Beers won well last time and is another with place claims, but Brave Quest looks progressive and stands out as the one to beat.
