MONNOW MADE clearly goes well fresh as she scored on her racecourse debut in an Aintree bumper a year ago. Highly tried thereafter, Charlie Egerton's well-connected mare can get off the mark over timber at the first attempt. Candelita sets a fair standard on last month's victory at Ffos Las, though the second has been well beaten since, but Classical Mist may not have beaten much in a handicap at Uttoxeter and might struggle under a penalty. Doynosaur could be best of the rest, though Pokerhuntress should improve with experience.
