Monumental Man hasn’t raced since September but that was the case last year when winning this off a 6lb lower mark. Union Rose carries 6lb extra for last week’s success at Wolverhampton while You're Cool has to defy a further 4lb rise a he attempts to land a hat-trick of course and distance wins. Juan Horsepower was winning at Lingfield off a similar mark back in March but MR POCKET has tumbled down the weights since landing a double earlier and it could be the turn of Paul Cole’s colt once again.
