        Verdict

        A lead horse for Baaeed at the Haggas yard, MONTATHAM was having his first start on the track for a year when finishing behind third-placed Tacarib Bay in the Balmoral at Ascot. He’s won off higher marks in the past and gets the vote to reverse running with the latter. Hafeet Alain disappointed at Wolverhampton having earlier won a decent handicap over track and trip while What's The Story finished in front of both Excel Power and United Front when fifth at Southwell and is preferred of the rest.
