Formscan - Plenty will fancy their chances in what looks an open nursery, but Ralph Beckett sends only THE MONKEY KING to North Yorkshire and that could be a clue in itself. The son of Time Test looked better the further he went when successful in a Brighton novice, so he's likely to find even more progress now upped to the mile. The consistent Love Tanya is another who should benefit from a step up in trip, while the recently-gelded Akaraka is also of interest.
