Verdict
Monbeg Genius will probably be suited by the longer distance but there is a big doubt over whether he’ll thrive on going this quick. MR GLASS, on the other hand, won over 2m6f on good ground at Newcastle in November and this is less competitive than subsequent runs at Sandown and Wincanton. One For The Wall has finished second three times in small fields this season but faces a stiff task at the weights while Admirals Edge is making his racecourse debut at the age of seven.
