Verdict

Another big prize, this time for the chasers, and this can be taken by the lightweight Maidstone Monument to beat Green Finger, Fool On The Hill and Tango Royal. The selection carries Seamus Durack and little else in the saddle here, and loves this place. Twice a winner here, this is her optimum trip, although she does possess the stamina to win over further, and as one who jumps well she can get through the hustle and bustle to score. Green Finger should not be inconvenienced by any cut, but has stamina to prove here. He is fit and well after a summer campaign and can run a good race. Fool On The Hill is proven on the ground and over this trip, although a hike in the weights will make his task more difficult, but he should be thereabouts. Of the remainder, Tango Royal would eat these for breakfast at his best, and is 7lb below when winning Market Rasen's Summer Plate last year. He has won with cut before now, so despite being out of form, he has a couple of things to recommend him and a return to form would be no big surprise. However, Maidstone Monument is in form and gets the nod here.
