In depth
Verdict
Not Til Monday is tried in a visor after finishing third at Folkestone but would probably prefer a softer surface. Motirani is consistent and made a promising reappearance at Wolverhampton, while Sheila's Castle and Astroleo have been in action over hurdles and shouldn't lack fitness. WESTER ROSS has also been plying his trade under NH Rules, finishing third at Fontwell earlier this month, and he looks the pick of the weights here on that effort though it's almost four years since he won on the level.
