Verdict

This probably won't take much winning so Monsieur, regularly placed in this grade, has to go on the short-list even though he's creeping up the handicap again. Orang Outan returned from a lay-off to win a low-key affair at Towcester last month but Man Of Leisure couldn't extend his good run of form in an amateur riders' race at Exeter last week and races off the same mark here. Decision could figure if putting his best foot forward but it might be worth giving another chance to EASTON CLUMP. He caught a tartar in Laterly at Huntingdon last month but still managed to reverse earlier form with Mayolinn and may never get a better chance to break his duck.
