Verdict
Global Humor caught Monhammer in the final strides at Ayr to land a double. The latter is slightly better off at the weights but they still remain hard to separate. Sir Maxi is back on a winning mark though hasn’t looked like taking advantage so far this year while Monaadhil disappointed back over track and trip last time. But SPARKLE IN HIS EYE has been racing over longer trips since winning this contest off a similar mark last year and today’s return to 7f may bring about a revival.
