Verdict
An open-looking sprint but MONDAMMEJ went down narrowly in pursuit of a C&D hat-trick on Tuesday and, clearly still thriving. Antony Britain's 7-y-o can regain the winning thread at the expense of Rhythm N Hooves, who got back on track in a change of headgear at Wolverhampton recently and could well build on that. Royal Pleasure was a big eye catcher on yard debut at Thirsk back in the spring, so he can edge out True Promise for third.
