In depth
Verdict
A couple of these bid for hat-tricks including Lincoln Gamble, who landed a double at Wolverhampton with his latest success. Bobby On The Beat is penalised for scoring at Chelmsford earlier in the week but MONAAJEZ has the more scope. The latter finished third in novice company behind higher rated horses than these on his first outing for Alex Dunn’s yard and will be sharper for this handicap debut. Dembe finished well behind the selection last time and Madrinho is preferred.
