Verdict
Mrs Grass is back on her favourite track and eased a little in class so has to go on the short-list. Ange Des Malberaux is consistent enough at this level and won on soft at Cartmel in July, though is still creeping up the weights. Rockliffe is relatively unexposed while Uno Valoroso has won around here in the past but so has PRINCESS MONONOKE. She was prominent for a long way on her reappearance at Carlisle and that run will have blown away a few cobwebs. The drop in distance should also help her cause.
