In depth

Verdict

Monty's Revenge won at Towcester earlier this month but was all out to do so and is best at the Northamptonshire circuit. MOONLIGHT MAGGIE is a viable alternative as, though both wins so far have come over 2m, she was only beaten half-a-length over 2m3f at Catterick last December. Expanding Universe was in good form over longer trips in the spring but Tinelyra is still 9lb higher than for his only victory and was well beaten in a hunter chase on his last start in April.
