In depth
Verdict
Global Humor hasn’t won this year but has slipped down the ratings as a consequence. Neither MONHAMMER nor Timbukone are really proven on ground with some give but they could end up fighting out the finish with the former in the form of his life and starting from the inside berth. Rum Going On was only third behind Novak at Redcar in June so Emerald Lady may be best of the rest back on Turf.
