MON BRAV spent most of last season racing in tough handicap company and managed two victories, including a Class 3 at Nottingham. He rarely runs over a trip this short nowadays but his class can see him home in this poor event. Haajes likes it here and gained a course and distance victory in October. But he hasn't run since later that month and has always needed his opening run in the past. Bedloe's Island also has a track and trip victory to his credit but he hasn't been running very well at Southwell. The three-year-old U Think Ur Funny showed a bit of potential on just her second start here in September and the betting should be noted to gauge her chances but Mr Mo Jo has been running poorly at Wolverhampton.
