Ralph Beckett has won this twice in recent years and THANKS MONICA progressed out of handicaps last season. She finished over five lengths behind Luisa Casati when the latter won a Goodwood Listed race last month but can reverse the form closer on the revised terms as the winner prefers cut in the ground. Third-placed Ching Shih can also get into contention and though Voodoo Queen was further behind she definitely improved in a Group 3 at York later. The Gosden's have two entries with Pennymoor the stable pick on jockey bookings though she finished lame in a Doncaster handicap just over a month ago. Caius Chorister completed a handicap five-timer last summer and has again run well in Epsom handicaps this campaign.
