Verdict

THE DELRAY MUNKY (NAP) was behind Broadway Belle, Turtle Cask and Poetic Presence over 3m2f at Kelso last month but showed that run to be all wrong when sauntering clear over a shorter trip at Ayr, reversing form with Kelso second Massini’s Lady in the process. Despite worse terms, Iain Jardine’s lightly-raced mare can take revenge on her old rivals today. It’s difficult to make a case for many of the others, though Houndscourt and Agent Louise are previous course winners.
