Five chase wins, the latest a three-runner handicap at Kelso in May (2m7f, good); finished a long way behind a couple of these over C&D next time but shaped better when third here last time; each-way chance.

Walk On Quest

10st 2lb

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Made it 5-12 over fences when readily taking care of two rivals over a similar trip at Kelso a month ago (good; made most); only 3lb higher but without Jack Power's 5lb claim, so at this level he's probably in need of his best form yet.

Form & Verdict
Exploited much-reduced mark over C&D (good) in April and finished second over C&D on both subsequent appearances (good to soft/good) but is no longer the force of old and others in this field have more appealing profiles.

He won at Perth (3m, good) in April and has produced some respectable performances since, but he was beaten nearly 10l when fourth of nine behind Upfordebate at Perth (3m, good) ten days ago and needs a bigger run today.

Form & Verdict
Has modest 2-30 strike-rate under rules but kept on well for second at Aintree (2m4f, good) in May and has now filled that position twice since his wind operation in March; could plausibly still have untapped potential over 3m; no surprise if he features.

Weakened out of contention at Aintree last month but this race is a bit easier and he's now only 3lb higher than when keeping on well to beat Glory And Honour at Newcastle (2m4f, good) in April; also suited by 2m and might be aided by recent wind surgery; enters calculations.

Four-time C&D winner; returned from break with two low-key runs this spring (hurdle/chase) but may have been aided by refitted cheekpieces when running big race in defeat here (2m4f, good) ten days ago; up in grade today but still on a good mark and this return to 3m is sure to suit.
