        Verdict

        Quarrymount has been knocking on the door lately and can gain some compensation over this longer trip. Strangely Brown, Sharadi and Late Opposition add spice to the race though and, as all are now proven stayers, they will surely be in there with a shout when they bear down on the line. The last named meets Strangely Brown on much better terms that when they met at Ayr and will be dangerous to ignore if supported. while Sharadi will ensure that whatever gets past him knows that he has been in a race. However, they could all be vulnerable to an improver and could be there for the taking now that the selection steps up to a more appropriate trip. Sir Mark Prescott rarely leaves a stone unturned with his plans and, as Quarrymount could also be back out under a penalty at Windsor on Monday, the son of Polar Falcon has to familiar a profile to ignore as the Cambridgeshire meeting come to it's conclusion.
