Good effort in finishing third of 17 beaten 1¾L on his penultimate outing over 6f at Nottingham in September. Well held at Bath subsequently and worth a check in the market on his seasonal debut.

Won 12 times in the past including over this C&D on two occasions. Winner off a 10lb lower AW mark at Kempton in March and ran well on his return to turf when finishing runner-up in a five runner event at Bath (firm) earlier this week. Blinkers replace visor worn last time out for this.

Made all to win twice over C&D last year including on his most recent start on good-to-firm ground in August. Races off a 4lb higher mark but will appreciate this trip and has the ground to suit in this contest.

Successful five times so far in a 48 race career. Of those successes all four of the turf wins have come at Bath including off a 1lb lower mark on firm ground in August. Probably best watched here.

Forecasts

Roy's Legacy (11/4), Powerful Wind (9/2), Babyfact (11/2), Bonjour Steve (6/1), Edged Out (7/1), Pour La Victoire (7/1), Swendab (15/2), Silverrica (9/1), Quantum Dot (14/1), Molly Jones (66/1)

Verdict

QUANTUM DOT can make a winning reappearance by taking this competitive looking 5f handicap. Ed De Giles charge ended last season in good form winning two of his last four races with both of those successes coming over C&D and with ground conditions likely to suit he can make all to take this. Roy's Legacy has been in good form on the AW winning two of his last six and finishing second in the other four while Silverrica is another to note here off top weight on her first outing since September.
