This won't take much winning and OVER MY HEAD should take all the beating if a recent comeback second at Southwell hasn't taken too much out of him. Uncle Monty has only shown moderate ability in novice events but might do better now going handicapping and has more scope than Wellforth, tailed of in both starts this season. Agent Louise's sole success came around here but that seems a long time ago now.
