GARY THE ARB (1) placed last time (35.27) at Romford in a OR1, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths. Loves this trap, having won 12 of 20 starts. Makes strong appeal on best. BOUNCING MONARCH (3) struggled in tougher grade last start after losing his position early at Monmore, but prior to that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Sheffield (28.74) beating Crafty Kido in a IV on January 25. Likely to be about the mark. RACKETHALL BRUTE (2) shapes well for this after winning last start over 480m at Monmore in a scintillating 28.25. Top win latest and rates a key player again. ZENITH TANJU (5) is a last-start placegetter as favourite - should be thereabouts.
