Croque Monsieur was beaten only a neck at Kempton despite an 11lb hike in the weights for an earlier success. But he’s upped a further 6lb today and EMPLOYER is preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length at Windsor when last in action and Hugo Palmer’s charge may well improve for being gelded during the interim. Enigmatic also has a shout on his second at Newbury while Gateway has more scope than most of these and makes more appeal than the likes of Pactolus and Balgair.
