Verdict

White Spirit showed a little improvement when fourth at Lingfield in July, but ROCK OF MONET's third at Chepstow last time looks stronger form. The runner-up has subsequently won and David Simcock's charge is fancied to take another step forward here. Gin Twist's placed efforts give her a chance though she's looking pretty exposed now, while Arabian Flight and Wake Up Sioux don't look good enough. Regal Lady is related to a winner on the all-weather and fellow newcomer Relentless Harry's half-brother scored on his debut and neither would have to be world-beaters to figure here.
