Resolution Bay is still relatively unexposed and ran a fine race at Fontwell last month following a short break. He’s only 3lb higher but will be entering unknown territory over this longer trip. There are no stamina doubts surrounding SUTTER’S MILL and, with rain forecast overnight, Evan Williams can add to his victories so far this year at Chepstow and newton Abbot. Quarenta almost opened his account over hurdles at Worcester in August but probably has more on his plate here off a 5lb higher mark.
