Verdict
Richard Hannon has won three of the last four renewals and BLACK MONK arrives with the best piece of form under his belt. He finished second on his debut at Nottingham with subsequent winner Yes Two back in third and can open his account in this. The latter beat Regal Dan at Doncaster last time so Jubilee Brig could prove a bigger threat as he finished third behind Ceiling Kitty, who has since won a Listed event, on his debut. Pearl Bounty cost 120,000gns and is worth a second glance in the betting on his racecourse debut.
