A strong race for the grade at this time of year and it should be truly-run. LA QUARITE bolted up over fences at Newton Abbot 7 days ago and looks very well-treated racing off the same mark back over hurdles. He's preferred to Crystal Mer who improved again when runner-up here earlier this month and shaped as though there may be more to come over this longer trip, while hat-trick seeking Sixty Plus could well continue his rapid progression for the remarkable James Owen stable.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, La Quarite could be most vulnerable in a race in which competition for the lead looks to be fierce: Such a hotly-contested pace as is on the cards here may be to the benefit of Crystal Mer who is likely to make a challenge late.
