It's not hard to have doubts about all of this field in one way or another but there are a few that warrants some attention not least BLUE MONDAY from the Fergal O’Brien yard that can do little wrong this season. The support he received last time hinting that he’s capable of better off this most basement of marks. The Brothers can’t be far away from making a real impression over fences although a longer trip would be preferable as it would be for Sutter’s Mill. Beni Light can’t be totally dismissed if he’s forgiven his run last time having been a consistent sort prior to that but Shininstar may find this too much of a test away from his beloved Ludlow.
