In depth
Verdict
The four-year-old Penna Rossa made all to land a Class 2 at Sandown but ran out back there last week. Monjules has done well since arriving from France, gaining his third success here last month for which he's been raised 4lb. HEURE DE GLOIRE also scored for the third time at Leicester where she made most and kept on strongly. She can defy a 7lb rise as Polyphonic, an easy winner here on Boxing Day, has failed to make the expected progress.
