Montalvan has moved from Ireland where he never reached a place in five starts. He's also drawn low which is not a help here while stall five won't be an aid to The Grey Zebedee, who ran well on his final start at Musselburgh and is 1lb lower. Willow Brook ran her best race to date at Newcastle in January though was beaten in a seller last year so the vote goes to MUHALLAB. Adrian Nicholls' colt has only run three times and never on Turf but he's been showing enough to suggest a moderate handicap would be within his capabilities and champion UAE jockey Tadhg O'Shea is a positive booking.
