Verdict

ONLY MONEY turned in another solid effort when beaten only by a progressive rival over C&D in November and, operating from a 1 lb lower mark, he looks sure to be a big player again. Last year's winner Gallic Geordie and unexposed chase debutant Gamaret are others fancied to play lead roles.
