In depth
Verdict
Big Quick deserves a change of luck after going close in Novice company in his three outings this year. The form of his second to Cape Stormer was given a boost by Native Fox at Hereford on Thursday and the booking of Tony McCoy can only strengthen his claims today. Just Caramel and Supremely Red may take advantage if McCoy's mount flounders over the trip and are others to consider.
