Verdict
Reminiscent and Glory Quest are the best of a moderate bunch here and could fight out the finish, with the former possibly just having the edge. Fulke Johnson Houghton's gelding has been contesting slightly shorter events recently and did well to finish runner up to Royal Prodigy at Lingfield last time. He has pretty decent form over course and distance in the past, most notably when second to Rebelle just over a year ago, a repeat of that effort would be good enough today. It is nearly a year since Glory Quest entered the winner's enclosure but has been steadily dropping down the handicap and with the stable returning to form this one has to be respected. The old timer Jamaican Flight and Paul Blockley's Altitude Dancer didn't do too badly over course and distance behind Stolen Song last week and should also figure in the finish, however Reminiscent looks the most consistent of these and just gets the vote.
