Plenty are in with a shout but it's hard to side against Dan Skelton's upwardly-mobile DOYEN QUEST who resumed with an excellent second in a big-field Chepstow handicap (form been franked) and still looks ahead of his mark with this longer trip also a likely plus. Gavin Cromwell's new recruit Noble Birth could emerge as the main danger although fellow Irish challenger Zeeband commands plenty of respect for last year's winning yard. In-form duo Gowel Road and Itso Fury can both have a say too.
