Time To Reason won over the minimum trip here last month and is partnered by a leading amateur. But he’s yet to win over today’s trip and LALANIA is preferred having found only one too good over course and distance at the same meeting here last month. Monumental Man is usually in the mix at this level and can figure again while National Glory is not badly treated on his best form and gets a change of headgear today. Gottardo won just the once in 16 starts in Ireland and debuts for new connections on his reappearance.
