Monumental Man has been back on a winning mark for most of this season but has yet to take advantage. He was less than a length ahead of Welease Bwian when third here last week. MISTERIOSO has been raised 5lb for winning at Ascot last time but is still on a decent mark and can confirm recent running with Francisco having only his second outing on the all-weather. Baileys Mirage has been in fine form on the Polytrack before a below par effort at Pontefract and can get involved while Happy Call landed a double at Lingfield earlier and was upped into Class 2 company at Epsom last time.
