        Verdict

        Dafa, Kentucky Bullet and Quest On Air are the three that stand out here and we will side with the last named. The John Jenkins trained gelding made his Southwell debut earlier this month and belied odds of 33/1 to chase home Brother Cadfael. He was only caught in the final furlong over that one mile and six furlong trip and should be better suited by the shorter distance. Dafa landed a banded events last winter at Lingfield and Wolverhampton. He has been round this track in the past so if fit after his eight month holiday he should go close. Kentucky Bullet put in a stinker here last time but had previously finished a close up third to Radiant Bride. If he can repeat that effort he will be hard to beat. Escalade and Misty Man are two others worth a second glance, but Quest On Air seemed enjoy his jaunt round here last time and gets the vote
