Verdict
FOX HILL is interesting in this propping up the weights after a pipe-opener on the all-weather. Quanah won twice on Turf at the end of last year and continued his improvement when successful at Newcastle 10 days ago, though that was over 5f. Almurr won at Wolverhampton in January and hasn’t been disgraced off higher marks since but Gullane One usually needs a run, though is a course and distance winner so respected. Constant may be the pick of the remainder.
