In depth
Verdict
MONOPOLI only won a selling contest at Leicester last week but this isn't much better and Chris Dwyer's mare is fancied to go in again with the champion jockey taking over the reins. Stanlow has had just the one start on Turf and may have room for improvement having landed a double on the Polytrack early in the year. Litmus never threatened the winner when beaten four lengths here last week though finished well ahead of a below par Salient. Petersboden is a frustrating type with just the one win in 32 starts but regularly makes the frame.
