Verdict

EL FONTENARO is still a maiden, but he went close to capitalising on a career-low mark at Fairyhouse last month and a reproduction of that form may well suffice. Monastere has been hiked up 9 lb for his Fairyhouse win but is respected as a last-time-out winner nonetheless, with Rappell another to consider after going close on his most recent outing.
