Verdict

Domenico has dropped to a handy mark and gets the tentative vote here with Colonel Frank, Long Shot and Monkerhostin also respected. The selection was a disappointing fifth behind Caracciola last time but goes well for today's pilot Carl Llewellyn and was a useful second behind Torrid Kentavr the last time he was on board. Colonel Frank could represent the main danger as he ran a cracker behind Fair Prospect last time, but he may just need this, his first run of the season. Long Shot impressed when an easy winner at Uttoxeter last time having been dropped in trip, and should go well despite the penalty. Monkerhostin is the other that is worthy of a serious look as he travelled sweetly without finding much the last time he was seen out in public at Aintree back in April. However, he is another that might be in need of the run, so we are happy to side with Domenico.
