The recent winner Yasir and MONZINO are closely matched on last week's running at Southwell. But the former was beaten when favourite at the same track yesterday and Michael Chapman's charge is fancied to take revenge given he scored at this venue back in September. Our Golden Girl went close over course and distance on her penultimate start and makes more appeal than both Geeaitch and Ice Tres, third and fourth respectively at Kempton recently. Diamond Pro is a winner in Ireland but has shown little so far for a new yard.
