After chasing home Serpentine at the Curragh, albeit at a distance of 9 lengths, MONUMENT VALLEY found Taramansour just too strong in the closing stages at Cork. The son of Galileo should be ideally suited by stepping up in trip and can get off the mark. Alatar looks to have stamina to burn after his close third over this trip on heavy going at Roscommon so will find the selection out if he doesn't stay. Royal Free Hotel battled on over this trip at Fairyhouse while Monopoly wasn't stopping when tackling 1m5f at Navan and is likely to make this a stamina test.
