VITE MONET (2) hasn't been far away since winning here last month, all from wider barriers. Can be involved from this more favourable draw. FRANCO TYSON (4) produced some good form here last campaign and was readied with a trial placing. Keep safe. MONTALBANO (6) only missed by a neck when runner-up from a similar barrier last week. Include again.
