QANAN gets first-time headgear after a modest effort at Newmarket. He'd scored over course and distance before that and is only 2lb higher today. Chris Wall's charge is preferred to Magical Rose who has a shout as she drops down a grade while Rock Anthem may get involved off his current mark. Blackball ran a shocker at Redcar having won here on his reappearance and Saigon City has shown nothing since a debut second at Salisbury. Jonnie Skull does his winning in lower grades and finished last at Newmarket on his latest start.
