Verdict
Assassinate won easily over track and trip last month but this looks tougher under a penalty facing three likely imporvers. Morning Suit made a modest start at Doncaster recently but Monks Stand found only the favourite too good on his introduction at Lingfield a week ago. TOMILY has gone close in both starts and was less than a length behind the unbeaten Sutter County at Newmarket last time. That looks the strongest form and the Hannon colt gets the nod with Jumping Jack hard to fancy having finished last on the all-weather on his debut.
