MISTRAL REINE has won twice and being second in three previous runs over track and trip. She goes well fresh so her recent absence shouldn't be a problem and, though pulled up twice since her latest course and distance victory, could be the one to beat. Occasionally Yours is a regular here but still chasing a first course win and looks to be on the downgrade while Weybridge Light is on a long losing run yet still 2lb higher than when last successful. Therefore Brass Monkey, in good form around this time last year, could be the danger on his first start since January.
