    Verdict

    MONDAMMEJ was sent off at 33/1 over course and distance on his racecourse debut but won as he liked. The runner-up has subsequently boosted the form and Antony Brittain’s charge can defy a penalty and go in again. Kumasi drops down in trip in first-time headgear and is weighted to beat Lingfield runner-up Vandad but the less-exposed Save The Spirit may prove a bigger threat on the back of a debut fourth at Chelmsford.
