A winner off a 5lb higher mark over course and distance less than a year ago, Jessie Allan produced her best run of the season so far at Ayr last month under Shannon Watts but the veteran mare was behind Fanzone in the race won by Rain Cap at Hamilton earlier. DOOMSDAY has found his level and Bryan Smart’s three-year-old should be too strong for Monhammer in receipt of 4lb.
