Verdict
SILENT MONARCH made a winning debut when sent off favourite over today’s trip at Beverley. She’s penalised but can still confirm running with the re-opposing Jupiter And Mars despite the worse terms. Both the latter and Al Baahy have something to find at the weights with Follow That Star, a losing favourite in a handicap last time, while the less exposed Dolly Gray debuts on Turf having posted a better effort at Wolverhampton.
