Verdict

QUIZICAL can be the answer to this handicap for the second year running. He should have come on for last week's Limerick spin and previously ran a screamer in the Irish Cambridgeshire off this mark. Maker of Kings is progressing nicely and has a fair shout again under Sam Ewing. Robin Des Sheikh is another last-time-out winner to merit plenty of respect.
