RELENTLESS has been placed in both starts over today's trip including a third at Windsor last time. He doesn't look the most straightforward but should be good enough if settling better in first-time cheekpieces. Portmonarch was well beaten when stepped up to 1m2f last time but that was his first start since October and he's preferred to White Month and Prospera. Flying Tempo has claims back on the Polytrack after running below par at Beverley and World Map should give another good account having plugged on for third over today's distance at Wolverhampton last week.
