    Verdict

    Gassin Golf won over today's trip at Haydock last month but is 10lb higher today and came up just short when beaten a head at Ripon last time. It could pay to take him on with recent maiden winner MONSHAK as she looked in trouble at one stage over the 1m4f at Chepstow before producing a late surge to get her head in front. This longer distance looks sure to suit on that evidence so Sir Michael Stoute's filly gets the vote. Montaser also got up late to score at Haydock last time and should be thereabouts again stepping up in trip but Ruacana and Maastricht may be in the handicapper's grip now. Singalat had failed to figure since scoring over 1m3f here in May and Fleeting Image has some improving to do if she's to get involved.
