SUZI’S CONNOISSEUR has tumbled down the weights this year but still comes out best on today’s terms. She was beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton the last time she competed over 6f and should go close again. Green Fortune and Mujassam also drop in class with the former more favourably treated while Acrux beat lower rated horses than these to win a claimer at Kempton in September. Monumental Man remains in fine form though has plenty to find at the weights as do the remainder.
