MONTICELLO can complete a double as he was sent to Sandown for his debut and justified strong support to make all. He has a penalty to carry and it would be no shock if his stablemate Thomas Cranmer were to give him a race as he caught the eye on his debut over 6f at Lingfield. Heatongrad has looked in need of this extra fulong in both starts to date, a remark that also applies to Wigan Warrior, while Miss Bates didn't run badly on her debut over Beverley's stiff 7f a couple of weeks ago. Actualisation cost 75,000gns and is worth a market check.
