Verdict

Tim Vaughan's yard is in good form at present, reflected in the fact that his Free To Air won over both hurdles and fences last month. A penalty shouldn't make much difference to his chances in this modest heat but narrow preference is for WALLACE MONUMENT, who showed improved form when stepped up in trip at Plumpton last month and can open his account over timber today. Brilliant wasn't disgraced over 2m7f at Fontwell last time but has something to find with the less-exposed Diamanpeg on that run and pointer Kiristani has a woeful record under Rules.
