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.

Quotes on Zeeband (IRE)
he'll be a grand horse for the summer, he will jump a fence at some time but today is a lovely day to win because Paul Carty - who owns half of the horse with Natalie (Gilligan), his mother is quite ill in hospital. It is a great boost for them and hopefully she will get a kick out of it as well. Jack gave him a lovely ride as we planned to poke Henry's horse (front-running Champagne Mahler) along and I did think we'd reverse Gowran form with him. He is only getting the hang of things over hurdles now and hopefully will stay progressing.
