Forecasts

Criq Rock (7/4), Steel Bob (9/4), For Instance (11/4), Monkey Puzzle (9/2), Follow The Bear (6/1)

Verdict

Criq Rock hasn't shown enough bite in the finish so far to merit selection over this sort of trip, though he remains open to doing better than we have seen so far. For Instance got the job done over this trip in gritty fashion at Wetherby recently and is worth considering but he is conceding weight all round so the nod goes to MONKEY PUZZLE. He ran well at Doncaster to be second on hurdles bow in December and shaped as though this further examination of stamina will suit. Follow The Bear has shown some promise in novice events and represents a yard in flying form.
