This looks to rest between the Newmarket raiders. Monhammer, second over course and distance this month, was beaten an easy four lengths and probably needs to improve to take this. Marie Antoinette showed bundles of promise on her first two starts in the spring in decent maidens and returns after a 70-day break. She seems sure to land a maiden and receives a 5lb allowance from the colts. NINE TALES is harder to assess, making his seasonal reappearance after posting a debut rich with promise at Kempton last November. Obviously, it's possible he will need the run, but it's worth taking the risk he's ready to go after such a pleasing first run.
