In depth
Verdict
Monfrid was no match for the odds-on favourite when second here and ENGINEER is preferred as the latter made a promising debut when third at Kempton behind a winner rated 88. Both South Shore and Giorgio M took a backward step last time and the former has subsequently switched yards but Top Flight Century is a half-brother to Group 1 winner Alenquer and is a newcomer to note.
