Verdict

John Quinn has a strong chance in the opener with Ascot Week and assuming that all goes to plan a quickfire double is on the cards courtesy of the capable nine-year-old BIG STORM COMING. He was partnered by today's rider Cieren Fallon when a decisive C&D winner last week and the incurred 4lb penalty is unlikely to be a barrier to further success. Furthermore, he not only defends his race title (2018 winner) but also an unbeaten record (2-2) at this track. The progressive Sir Busker rates as the likeliest danger despite taking a continued hike up the weights.
