Verdict

WHATEYS QUEST has been in tremendous form with strong finishes in recent outings and should remain competitive returning to fences after an eye-catching second at Limerick. Showurappreciation produced his best effort when third at Navan recently and is clearly at home over this trip. Soloman Lane displayed battling qualities when scoring at the same meeting.
