Verdict

MONTASSIB drops to 5f for the first time in his career on his belated comeback, which is an obvious question mark, but he has a good record fresh and will surely go well on these terms providing conditions remain on the softer side of good. Shagraan produced a career best to land a Beverley listed race in good style 3 weeks ago and is respected back up in grade, with Rumstar also feared under a penalty having acquitted himself on his first try at the highest level in the Nunthorpe.
