Verdict

FEATURE THIS is not ideally drawn but a double-digit stall didn't stop her from going close over C&D three weeks ago and another bold show is on the cards. Monzoon did well to run the winner so close on unfavourable terms in a 7f claimer here last week and he is second choice ahead of Roman Palace, who also found just one too good here last time. Run The Jewels has slipped to an attractive mark and also commands respect.
