Lingfields last race is quite a trappy affair but MONASHEE ROCK, Bollywood Style and Gold Rock should contest the finish with the vote going to the first mentioned. Matthew Salaman's son of Monashee Mountain should appreciate this big field and has a great chance of turning around form with Zeffirelli. Bollywood Style has course and distance form and represents the formidable partnership of Jim Best and Steve Drowne. Any market move for him should be monitored. Tony Carroll's stable remain in good heart and Gold Rock catches the eye with his lenient handicap mark. He was once rated 82 and now runs from a mark of 55. A potential dark horse in the race is the Daryl Holland ridden Fiefdom and he could go well for each-way backers, but Monashee Rock looks the form horse in the race and gets the narrow vote.
