Verdict
A low-key affair in which the ex-Irish MONAKOVA will probably be backed to add to a maiden success over course and distance nine days ago. She now carries a penalty but could be improving and has nothing to fear from the re-opposing George Fenton so gets the nod. Baltic Bomber has shown little this year but Meeting In Paris may have more to offer, though was disappointing when only fifth at Hamilton. Romanticize might need this and Busy Bimbo has had plenty of chances.
