Verdict

STARLIGHT WALK wasn't far behind the 83-rated No Heretic at Leicester and, as that was only her third start, she can take this from a mark of 73. Man Of God looked short of pace on his return to action over 1m2f but was staying on at the finish and this is more like his trip. Mokalif looked a real stayer in the making when coming with a late burst to score over 1m6f at Yarmouth and Hayley Turner will ensure there's no hanging around which should also suit Monopolize, whose dam was a Listed winner over 1m6f. Jacobs Son was headed close home over 1m6f at Sandown so today's trip should prove ideal and he looks a big threat.
