Irish raider Pillar was winning for only the second time in 56 outings when successful at Bellewstown recently and his less exposed stablemate Beau Rocko is preferred. Athassel went close over 7f here last week and John Joiner was placed over the minimum trip at Goodwood just five days ago though Fairway To Heaven was placed over course and distance on his penultimate start. But MONSIEUR MEL has the more recent form here when beaten less than a length on his latest outing and Tony Brittain’s charge is taken to finally open his account in this.
