The Hull Farm handler said: “I’m desperate to step Killala Quay up in trip, there are a few question marks because he might be flat out over two and a half miles. But he deserves a crack at the race and he is in extremely good form.

“His race was over before it got started last year. It was a standing start and he got left at the start.”
