In depth
Verdict
See You Around gets the nod over Whatashock, with Monty's Double not out of it despite topweight. Seamus Mullins won this 12 months ago with Sam Adamson and will be keen on the chance of See You Around who has a decent weight. The nine-year-old was actually pulled up behind his stablemate in this last year but has gone down the weights since, and has threatened on more than one occasion to open his account. Still a maiden at the age of nine, he has a first-rate chance of changing things back over this shorter trip this evening. Monty's Double probably has more scope as a seven-year-old but will be anchored by his weight, and a bigger danger may be Whatashock who is only lightly raced and who has shaped well of late including here the time before last. Frederick Forever also has time on his side but does not appeal on this occasion, and we prefer the claims of See You Around who can finally come good.
