Verdict
This won't take much winning but Sakhra has now had 23 tries to get off the mark and was still beaten 10 lengths when second at Brighton last time. Robben is also still a maiden and had every chance when beaten two-and-a-half lengths behind SAN QUENTIN here earlier in the month. Dean Ivory's grey is 4lb higher but can complete the double with the less-exposed Beausant needing more. Monopoli is preferred to Grey Gem of the remainder.
