Few of these are easy to win with or can be trusted to perform at a consistent standard. Thady Quill should be thereabouts judged on his form of a year ago which would have him on an attractive mark. He looked far from enthusiastic at Huntingdon last month and preference is for the two recent winners Phare Isle and SILENT MAN. The former landed a minor race at Fakenham before being forced to cut out the running next time. He is better suited to more patient handling and should find this race developing more to his liking. He is giving away five years and plenty of weight to SILENT MAN who won with something to spare at Uttoxeter last time. This looks no harder and, with few miles on the clock, he should be able to defy a 6lb rise.
