Verdict
This won’t take much winning and QUICK BREW’s turn may have come around again given he’s only a pound higher then when scoring at Sedgefield in May. Rhythm Of Sound never figured behind Reverse The Charge at Hexham last month but did better over this longer trip at Market Rasen next time and rates a danger. Xpo Universel is having only his fourth run over fences but is 0-68 in career starts, which tempers enthusiasm. Former pointer Crack Of Thunder returns from a long absence but is now with a powerful yard and this wouldn’t be the most difficult of comebacks.
