Yorkshire will be all the rage after making a victorious debut over hurdles at Chepstow earlier in the month, even though he was far from fluent in his jumping. Monolith, a winner over 10 furlongs on the flat, is an interesting contender from the Len Lungo yard, but his form on the level is nowhere near as good as that of Yorkshire's, and he may be best watched on this occasion.
