    Verdict

    Monashee Prince could be the answer to this although Yorkshire Blue and Fullandby have claims. Reportedly a strong home worker - Monashee Prince justified connections high opinion of him when landing a recent Folkestone contest. He is due to go up 4lb after this contest so connections are attempting to strike while the iron is hot. Yorkshire Blue was a tad disappointing on his most recent start but that could have come a little too soon after his heroics at Haydock Park. He is watched in the market. Fullandby was far from disgraced in a recent Newmarket heat. A strong run race would suit. Brigadore is in good heart at present and should run another solid race. Indian Spark has become difficult to win with while Seafield Towers could go well at a price. Plenty of chances and we will side with Monashee Prince before the handicapper has his measure.
