Verdict

QUIAN has thrived for new trainer Lizzie Quinlan and is taken to defy the handicapper again. The reliable Summergrounds won after a break last spring so his 4-month break isn't a concern and he's second choice ahead of last month's C&D scorer Beat The Retreat.

  1. QUIAN (GER)
  2. SUMMERGROUNDS
  3. BEAT THE RETREAT (IRE)
