      Verdict

      Monjeni was raised 7lb after winning at Lingfield in February and is probably high enough in the weights now with Ian Williams also running Oi The Clubb at the opposite end of the handicap. Zuba steps up in trip and is 0-6 on Turf but the booking of Ryan Moore is a positive. DUBIOUS AFFAIR had no problem with the longer distance at Yarmouth and was a relatively easy winner. He bounces off this fast surface and can defy a 5lb higher mark, though bumper winner Rory And Me is interesting having his first run in a handicap off what appears a generous rating.
