After finishing runner-up in a maiden, Moment Of Time was sent straight into Listed company at Newbury in June but came up short. She may have improved in the interim, but Monopolize keeps finding at least a couple too good and that could be the case again here. The latter finished behind ASAID at Newmarket last time when the Godolphin debutant just failed to catch the winner and Saeed Bin Suroor's charge is taken to go one better here. Tmaam has been placed on both starts and should be thereabouts again, while improvement is expected from Tonnerre and Riviera Stars.
