Verdict

Veteran Monetaire has been in fine form between the flags and Zac Baker is a good jockey booking. Arthur's Secret arrives with similar credentials while Vinnie Red still has some scope in races like this. KIT BARRY is very much on an upward curve and ran a fine race at Cheltenham earlier this month. He should take all the beating here if reproducing that form. Master Sunrise also warrants a mention but is difficult to win with.
