David Evans has provided the winner of this three times in the last four years and his filly, DREAMY CIARA, can put her experience to good use today against the three newcomers. She made all at Wolverhampton last week and the same scenario here is likely. Richard Hannon's Black Monk cost £66,000 and is a half-brother to several winners but, like Frosted Off, may not come into his own until tackling an extra furlong.
Black Monk (IRE) Dark Angel colt out of Double Eight.
Frosted Off Verglas colt out of Dispol Veleta.
Yes Two Indesatchel colt out of Charlie Girl.
