      Verdict

      Placed at Wolverhampton on his reappearance, MONDAIN struggled when sent off favourite on the Fibresand at Southwell last time and has been gelded since. He gets another chance in this given Natsovia failed to build on an earlier success at Wolverhampton when only fifth back at the same track last time. Soft going may have been a legitimate excuse for Salisbury winner Twenty Years On running poorly at Sandown last week and headgear is applied today and it remains to be seen if Sawasdee improves stepping up in distance for his first start in a handicap.
