The Mad Monk has won on Polytrack and Tapeta this year but showed nothing in three runs on this surface at a juvenile. Mcqueen is another who has shown his best form on artificial surfaces so we’ll give another chance to SAY GOODNIGHT, who didn’t really get the run of the race when making her handicap debut at Redcar and has been dropped a couple of pounds since.
