Few make any appeal though California Lad posted a better effort when fourth here a week ago. But QUOTELINE DIRECT was beaten only a neck over course and distance last time and looks to have fallen far enough down the weights to get his head back in front. The three-year-old Beauty Stone was beaten only a length at Kempton and Cheese And Wine is another with more scope than most.
