MONEIN has a middle-distance pedigree and is related to four winners. He may be good enough to make a winning start. Weald Of Kent failed to get involved on his debut while stablemate and newcomer Approaching Dawn cost 240,000gns as a yearling. Scimitarra and Singular Quest should improve for the step up in trip and the latter's stable companion Alboretta is also worth noting on her introduction. Hillgrove Angel is the most exposed with a handicap rating of 66 and is likely to find a few too good.
