Verdict
It's surely only a matter of time before MONTEZUMA is winning for Jim Goldie, possibly here now dropping to 5f for the first time having done too much too soon over 6f at Windsor last month. I'm Next will be a threat if reproducing the form he showed when clear best of the rest behind a William Haggas improver at Chester last time. Smooth Silesie has 3 wins and 2 seconds to show from her last 5 outings on turf and also has to enter the reckoning.
