Poet's Society was beaten a length over 5f on the Turf course here earlier this month but MONKS STAND (NAP) was beaten the same distance when third over today’s trip at Brighton last week so Jeremy Noseda’s colt gets the vote. Restore is a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather and preferred to Espresso Freddo but Ryan Moore partners 110,000gns purchase Zamjar and the latter makes most appeal of the newcomers.
