A few of these are returning from a break while several others are badly out of form. MONOPOLI is an exception as she was only beaten a head when trying this trip for the first time at Epsom last month and had Emmuska back in fifth. Only a pound higher here, she must go on the short-list while there is probably more to come from the lightly-raced London Silver now going handicapping and Royal Dutch was third at Newmarket last time. Veterans South Cape and Gallego could also make their presence felt but, like Blue Deer, don't win very often nowadays.
