Verdict

Monjeni had Delagoa Bay behind at Chelmsford last week but never looked like catching the easy winner and he is still seeking a first win. KLEITOMACHOS won here back in 2012 and is 10lb lower. He was a bit more like his old self at Ffos Las last month and this might not take much winning. Folly Bergere tries a new trip but could figure if she stays and Laser Blazer was running well off similar marks on the all-weather over the winter. Voice Control is definitely better on Polytrack while See And Be Seen continues to disappoint.
