Meaningful recent form is certainly thin on the ground in this finale but Brass Monkey could go well with Lizzie Kelly's claim a plus. Dexter Benjamin won't get many better chances to get off the mark but Aaly has been off the track since winning over a longer trip here in October. THE SELECTOR showed some improvement reunited with Sean Bowen over course and distance at the start of the month. He races off the same mark today and can open his account ahead of Comedy House, who only found one too good on the Polytrack recently and is probably capable of better than he's shown so far over hurdles.
