Verdict
Quiet Company was a 33/1 chance when coming with a late run to snatch the spoils over a mile here last month which is hardly surprising given his previous form. He's only been raised 4lb so has every chance of following up. However, SNAP CLICK will take some beating from this lowly mark as though he's only run twice on the all-weather - his latest run in a huge field at Navan looks good enough for this. Crown Pleasure has a strike-rate of 1-33 and her best recent runs have been over further while Ruby Quest has yet to reach a place and Aidan O'Brien reaches for the blinkers. Lady Rosebud has gained both of her victories here and looks best of the remainder.
