Monfass has every chance in a race like this if his Carlisle run has blown away a few cobwebs but, like course and distance winner Suggestion, he does have ground to make up on BARRYS JACK, who is back on a winning mark and has a useful 7lb claimer on board. En Meme Temps is getting closer and Little Pippin won at Hexham before finishing third at Leicester. The returning Snougar could also go well in a modest finale.
