In depth
Verdict
Blakeshall Quest is the pick over Muara, Whistleupthewind and Newkeylets, with Creme Brulee worth a mention. Blakeshall Quest has already proven that she goes well round here, having scored over the course-and-distance a couple of years ago. Her last four outings have all been at Southwell where she has been performing consistently, and hopefully the switch back to the Polytrack will have a positive effect on Roy Brotherton's seven-year-old. Muara kept on well when headed at Southwell last time, and is another that will not mind the return to today's surface, so is a live danger. Whistleupthewind continues to give her all but really needs further than six furlongs, so will probably be staying on at the finish again, while Newkeylets has had just three outings on the all-weather and is still a maiden despite going close a few times on Turf. Creme Brulee should be noted in the market, hailing from a stable that does not have many runners here, but we are happy to side with Blakeshall Quest.
