All of these look exposed including Hostelry, who went close at Musselburgh last time but has had 22 starts without winning. Monhammer finished behind the former but was due to run at Ayr yesterday so RON O gets a token vote. The latter should have come on for last month’s reappearance and has a shout on last season’s placed efforts off higher marks. Sea Storm has placed on the all-weather and may prove best of the rest.
