Monkton Vale is not easily dismissed dropping down in class, but Boa has finished nearer last than first in two subsequent starts since landing a double earlier this year. Golden Future has been more consistent but still looks a shade high in the weights and the same can be said of Ripon winner Dimashq. RUBI DIA has done his winning at Southwell so far but a better effort when second at Hamilton a fortnight ago suggests a win on turf won't be long in coming and he gets the vote. Miss Ferney could prove best of the rest on her reappearance.
