In depth
Verdict
A poor race in which it is advised that stakes are kept to the bare minimum. Investor Relations is still a maiden but showed signs of ability when third in claiming company last time and a reproduction may be good enough at this level. Monticello has clearly had his training difficulties and has not raced for 11 months but would have claims if able to recapture the form of his third in similar company at Huntingdon last term off a 1lb lower mark. Prince Dundee has become most disappointing of late and Forestry returns from a near two-year absence while it is hard to make a case for the remainder.
