Monhammer⁶

5/1

C&D winner under Danny Tudhope on reappearance in May. Not disgraced here on next 2 starts but ran one of lesser races at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago. The return of Tudhope to the saddle needs to make the difference.

Forecasts

He's A Gentleman (10/3), Alpine Sierra (4/1), Monhammer (5/1), On A Session (11/2), Challet (11/2), Cabrillo (17/2), Platinum Girl (10/1), Yellow Pages (66/1)

PLATINUM GIRL gets the nod to build on her encouraging reappearance second at Thirsk a couple of weeks ago. On A Session was only sixth in that Thirsk race but would have gone closer but for meeting trouble and can fill the forecast spot ahead of He's A Gentleman.
