Verdict
Croeso Cymraeg has won his fair share down the years but the nine-year-old is probably better suited by 1m4f nowadays. Monteria won over this trip at Windsor, however, and makes more appeal than the disappointing Heat Of The Moment. Honeymooner was successful upped to this trip at Bath but FINEST LEADER was caught right on the line off this mark at Kempton last week after rattling up a hat-trick earlier and the Charltons’ gelding can get his head back in front here.
