Verdict

Plenty with claims but AHAMOMENT beat Merricourt with a bit to spare at Musselburgh recently and has the scope to defy a 4lb rise. Chookie Dunedin is creeping closer having just missed out at Catterick while Emily Post finished runner-up at Wetherby on her debut for a new yard. Monhammer has won off today’s mark here and is another to consider having been beaten only a nose over track and trip last week.
