Verdict

BEAU QUALI has quickly found his feet for Christian Williams with back-to-back seconds, most recently in a C&D handicap, and can take advantage of the drop to novice company. Treasure Planet shaped as if still in good form when third at Taunton last month and remains unexposed. Quay Item flopped at Doncaster but could bounce back.
