In depth
Verdict
Monte Mayor Junior, Countrywide Belle and Magical Music are the three against the field in a very tricky finale and we will just side with the first named. Monte Mayor Junior has been a revelation since the turn of the year. Following an excellent third behind Petrichan, he improved to get the better of Chookie Windsor over the mile trip at Southwell. There could be plenty more in the locker and a big run is expected. Countrywide Belle returned to the winners enclosure last time when landing a pretty weak affair. She looks handicapped up to her best but should still be capable of reaching the frame. Magical Music won over a mile at Southwell last December and could still be on a handy mark. Meanwhile Kissi Kissi is from a yard amongst the winners and could do best of the others, but for the winner we return to Monte Mayor Junior.
