Sir Hector won at 25/1 over 6f here last month with You're Cool behind but never threatened last time. Q TWENTY BOY also disappointed here on his latest start but had won over track and trip before that and can effectively race off a lower mark today with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. Qaaraat has something to find with the selection but Shanghai Rock beat San Juan when winning at Chelmsford back in October so is not out of this.
