In depth
Verdict
SLUNOVRAT was beaten three lengths over track and trip last month by the progressive Steve Rogers when the latter landed a hat-trick. Dropping down in class for this, David Menuisier's charge may prove good enough. Ballyfarsoon went close over 2m on the Polytrack last time while Rayadour was placed over the same distance at Newcastle. Bold Adventure scored over hurdles last month but all 10 wins on the Flat have come on the all-weather while Well Owd Mon has also done all his winning so far at Wolverhampton.
