It's probably wise to stick with BLACK MONK here rather than guess at the ability of the newcomers. Richard Hannon's colt failed to land the odds on his debut at Nottingham but was beaten only a length in second and wasn't helped by his rider dropping his whip over a furlong out. He's taken to go one better here. Windhoek is an obvious place to start with the newcomers as he cost 110,000gns and is entered in a couple of valuable sales races while Day In Day Out is a half-brother to four winners and is also worth a second glance in the betting along with Walter White.
