The combination of the drop back in trip and ease in class could be just what QUINAULT needs. Indeed, the 5-y-o was successful on his latest run in Group 3 company at York in June and has subsequently been finding 7f too stiff a test in higher-grade races. He may well have most to fear from the 2024 and 2023 winners of this race, Apollo One and Annaf respectively, while cases can also be made for last month's York listed 1-3 Elmonjed and Prince of India.
