Verdict
It's a long time since Sun Quest was last in the winner's enclosure and he's turned in a couple of shockers since finishing second over 2m here in May. Vendredi Trois is looking very one-paced but Irish import Jayo Time must have a chance with Chris Ward taking off a valuable 5lb. Rior won over and distance in December and looked to be on the way back last time at Newton Abbot so is another to consider. OSCARS WAY stayed on strongly to get off the mark over 3m2f at Huntingdon 11 days ago so the drop in distance is a worry. He also has a penalty to contend with but may be improving and Charlie Deutsch is good value for his 7lb allowance. Flash Crash started favourite at Perth last month but again came up short.
