Plenty with claims in this although the vote goes to MONUMENTAL MAN. James Unett's charge is just one of the recent winners on show but scored in this grade on the all-weather last time and makes more appeal than Go Nani Go and Langley Vale. The latter pair both step up in class having won at Chepstow and Lingfield respectively and the former has the beating of Wooden King and Putin on collateral form. Danzoe and Magical Speedfit are other recent winners but both failed off today's marks on their latest outings.
