Verdict
Several with claims in an open contest with a chance taken on QUARRY BEACH, who returned to action with a second to stable companion Canal Rocks at Newbury and the fourth has subsequently boosted the form by winning. Black Medick remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise for scoring a Windsor while Eligible and Image Of The Moon were both placed last time and headgear is fitted to the latter today. Lolita Pulido is upped in distance for her handicap debut and she has more scope than the remainder.
