MONARCH MAID has scored in this company twice before in her career and she can make it a hat-trick of apprentice handicap wins here. It's interesting that Easy Code remains in training with William Haggas and he must be showing a little more at home than he is on the track. Danecase could be the main danger to the selection after a promising performance last time and he could be even better now back on faster ground.
