Verdict

MONTEZUMA would have given the winner something to think about granted a clearer passage over C&D last week and looks well placed to go on better from an unchanged mark. Al Hussar finished a place behind the selection in that race and can be expected to have sharpened up for the run, whilst Emerald Harmony ran an encouraging race on her stable debut and is also shortlisted.
