Formscan - MONBEG GENIUS showed marked improvement from his first to second start over fences when a comfortable winner at Newcastle last time out and a 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him from notching up a second course win. Runner-up on each of his three starts in this sphere, First Lord De Cuet is a key player, along with capable mare Bellatrixsa, who was last seen winning the Chester Plate on the level in May.
