Verdict
Very little to work on here but MONSTROSITY was racing on decent ground for the first time when fourth in a big field at Fairyhouse last month so could be good enough. Erratic Path is carrying a penalty for his victory on the Flat and looked one-paced over 2m5f at Roscommon though this is a poor maiden so he's expected to be in the firing-line. Big Ego is also penalised for a victory on the level but has gone backwards since a promising debut over timber in February last year.
