Verdict

Ron Harris won this last year and his Corporal Maddox can never be ruled out in this company though he's been looking a few pounds high recently. Monumental Man is on a lower mark than his last victory and made a bold bid to make all over the track and trip last week, only fading in the closing stages. Great Expectations hasn't won as often as he should have but the last time he ran here he scored off a 2lb lower mark though he's much better handicapped on the all-weather. POUR LA VICTOIRE won a slightly lower-grade handicap at Goodwood last week for which he's been raised 4lb but scored in this class here in August and Georgia Cox' claim can help him complete a quick double. It's a year since Straits Of Malacca was winning a better race than this at Thirsk but he's 11lb lower and there were much better signs at Kempton last week.
