17/2

Back to winning ways in 13-runner handicap (11/1) at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 13 days ago by length from Cobra Kai. Up 3 lb but he had something in hand there so this C&D scorer is a player.

Judgment Call (7/2), Society Lion (5/1), Cobra Kai (13/2), Surprise Picture (13/2), Monhammer (17/2), Ugo Gregory (10/1), Muntadab (11/1), Global Humor (12/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (12/1), Star Of St James (18/1), Merricourt (20/1), Kats Bob (25/1)

C&D scorer MONHAMMER won in taking style at Ayr last time so is fancied to make light of a 3 lb rise in the weights here. Surprise Picture wasn't seen to best effect when third at Chester and is feared most ahead of course winner Merricourt and last year's victor Kats Bob.
