      Verdict

      Monfass never seems to run a bad race and deserves to get his head back in front but appears to have something to find with THINK AHEAD on collateral form involving Kelso winner Keyboard Gangster. Jimmy Moffatt’s seven-year-old has only had three runs over hurdles and may have more to offer. Morning With Ivan has already won three times this season but will have to overcome a further 8lb rise in a higher grade. Centurius, on the other hand, has only been seen once this term and that was over fences. Cougar Kid has been racing over further and is high enough in the weights now.
