Monashee Prince, Rancho Cucamonga and Marajuana are three against the field in another tight affair and the vote is given to the last named. The selection won well on his debut when beating Marching Song on turf at Windsor. He has bags of scope for improvement and with the step up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat if he acts on the surface. Monashee Prince rates the main danger on his latest second behind Keresforth as that form has since been franked. He returns to his optimum trip and will not be far away. Rancho Cucamonga is another that could go well but he was beaten in a claimer lasttime and this looks tougher so he is passed over on this occasion. My Gacho ran as if in the handicappers grip when fourth behind Mandarin Spirit last time so he is over looked on this occasion. Of the remainder Bold Cheverak is from a yard in form and looks to be on a handy mark so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Marajuana.
