Verdict
MUNTAMI is exposed and John Harris will not be overjoyed to see him up 7lb for a victory at his beloved Market Rasen. However, this enthusiastic, honest gelding always does his best and should give a good account at a price off bottomweight. Zhukov has been a fine torch-bearer for the Kevin Tork yard this season with three wins since mid-May, for which he's risen 19lb. He keeps digging deep though and remains a leading player despite his new mark. Sadler's Star has claims but doesn't win often and keep a close eye on Mr Ramsay. Seamus Durack, seeking his first jumps winner as a trainer, has taken charge of this ex-Irish campaigner and Tony McCoy is a significant jockey booking. Market support would be very interesting.
