      Verdict

      Wild Flower won last year’s renewal but faces stiffer opposition this time. The three-year-olds Party Dancer and Scenery drop in class but neither arrive in good form and MONUMENTAL MAN is preferred. The latter went close over the minimum trip at Lingfield on his penultimate start and has won over today’s distance before. Seaforth has a shout on his recent second over track and trip while Cantstoptherock was lightly-raced in Ireland and could figure on these terms having recently switched yards.
