Monzino bids for a hat-trick under a double penalty. But both recent wins came over a shorter trip and it may be worth taking him on with NO DIAMOND. The latter was the subject of a major gamble over track and trip last time only to let down his followers but gets another chance to prove his latest running all wrong. Tyrur Ted is another with something to prove over this longer distance while Seawood never looked like catching the winner when second here on her latest start. Midnight Bahia is still searching for her first win but her recent placed efforts suggest it won't be long in coming.
