      In depth

      Verdict

      Top Mark, Blue Monkey and Froissee catch the eye here with preference for Blue Monkey. Froissee has been in good form recently, scoring twice, and she was only narrowly denied the hat-trick at Newmarket in a decent contest last time. She must go well despite her rise in the weights. Top Mark has won three times in his last nine starts and was only just pipped last time. He seems to prefer the all-weather surfaces though, and Kempton in particular so he is taken on here. Blue Monkey followed up a Haydock win with two sound efforts in defeat. He still looks well treated and can handle testing conditions. Blue Monkey can pick up the winning thread here in this good handicap.
