Plenty with claims in this. Monumental Man is one of those as he bids for a hat-trick off a 6lb higher mark than for a short-head victory at Wolverhampton while Charming carries a penalty for her defeat of the re-opposing Sherjawy over C&D on Wednesday. However, the former is worse off on earlier running at this track with BABY DOTTIE and it could be the turn of Pat Phelan's mare today. Pharoh Jake just got the better of the selection at over track and trip last month and is another to consider along with Liberal Lady.
