Formscan  - Doyen Quest got up late on to score over an extended 2m4f here in the spring and, on the back of a creditable reappearance second at Chepstow last month, he warrants respect off 3lb higher. That said, GOWEL ROAD is preferred. He lost little in defeat when finishing sixth in the Pertemps Final here last season and, after only finding an in-form rival too good here last time, he gets the nod to go one place better. Emailandy is also respected tackling this trip for the first time.
