Verdict
Jack Quinlan steered Moyne Nineoseven to victory in a conditionals' race at Bangor nine days ago and the partnership should go close to defying a 5lb higher mark. RED SOLO CUP was only second at Southwell on the same day but might be suited by this shorter trip so gets the nod to go one better. Newton Abbot fourth No Ifs And Buts could also go well along with Worcester second Over The Air, who has Richard Johnson doing the steering.
