Verdict
Awesome Quality was a big disappointment when favourite at Yarmouth having won over track and trip before that when beating WOWCHA (NAP). The latter re-opposes on better terms today and can turn the tables. Broctune Papa Gio won an amateur's event over a mile at Redcar last time and makes a belated debut on the all-weather while Inshaa was runner-up in a lower grade handicap here last week and can race off the same mark. Let's Twist has more scope than most but is having his first start since winning at Beverley in September last year.
