        Verdict

        After a better run at Beverley, Monjeni reverted to type again at Catterick and looks one to be wary of. Yasir is much more consistent and was winning for the fifth time this year on the all-weather over course and distance at the start of the month. Sophie Killoran gets on well with the top weight, who shouldn't be far away again. But DELAGOA BAY is also in good form and won on Polytrack three runs ago. She was rightly awarded a race at Bath last month having been hampered by the winner and can defy a 5lb rise in the weights. Racing Knight steps up in trip and Hiorne Tower is having his first run since a second at Lingfield in April.
