Monzoon and Chica Power are multiple track winners with the weights favouring the former, an easy winner of a similar race last month. Notforalongtime is capable of winning at this level and his neck second in a handicap last month puts him in the frame. Denis Hogan returns from his suspension to saddle MAY NIGHT, who is rated 84 on the all-weather after six victories in the UK. He wouldn't need to run up to that mark to win this though he's returning from a long break. Army Of India managed three all-weather wins in the UK but hasn't shown much in handicaps on Turf for new connections. Eighty Eight has been running poorly over hurdles and is better over further than this on the Flat.
