      Verdict

      Cogital won at Doncaster last month and should be in the mix once again despite a 4lb rise. But MONSARAZ will appreciate this return to the all-weather having won three times earlier in the year and looks worth another try over this longer trip. He’s preferred to Arabian King who has done all his winning at Southwell so far while Midrarr has struggled over shorter trips this year but has a bumper and hurdle winner in her pedigree and may last home. Chef De Troupe finished in front Blue Medici at Nottingham last time though neither threatened.
