Verdict
QUERIDO rattled up a hat trick here at the end of last year but gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when only sixth at this track on Monday. However, he looks to have a good chance at the weights racing in claiming company for the first time and gets the vote. Aviso's latest poor effort can be forgiven as it came on Fibresand and he's better judged on his victory here last October. Dream Of Fortune continues to run well without winning and should figure again, but April Fool's best recent form has been at Southwell.
