In depth

Verdict

MONUMENTAL MAN continued his good progress on his return from a short lay-off when scoring over course and distance for the third time. Dropping down a grade, he's the one to beat off a 3lb higher mark. Song Of Parkes has a bit to find with the selection but Desert Strike should be thereabouts again having won at Kempton recently. Better is expected from Billy Red back over the minimum trip and he has the beating of last month's Yarmouth winner Danzoe on collateral form.
