An interesting contest where FINAL CHOICE is the suggestion now dropped back to this trip and with 10lb claimed off his back. Quest For Life carries risks on his handicap intro, but if he can run to the level of form he showed here in December then he won't be far away. Fellow handicap debutante Big Thunder is well worth a check in the market, as he could have a bit up his sleeve here, while Bonne Question is another to keep an eye on in the betting after he blew the cobwebs off last time and is dropped 5lb. Monfass and Dark And Dangerous should both be competitive.
