CROQUE MONSIEUR is saddled with an 11lb rise for scoring with authority on his handicap bow, but he looked a totally different proposition there, and can show his opening mark to be all wrong. Whitehall isn't the easiest of conveyances but rallied gamely when second at Sandown last time, and has the assistance of Ryan Moore, while Climb Aboard ought to improve granted a thorough test at this trip, and is open to plenty of improvement.
