Ruth Carr has plenty with chances at Musselburgh and MONAADHIL looks the pick of the bunch in the Thank You Lizzie Classified Stakes (3.35).
The eight-year-old has sound credentials over course and distance, having been placed twice last season. This term the gelding followed up a second at Chelmsford in May with victory at the same track last month, tenaciously closing down The Charmer to win by a neck when giving the runner-up 10lb.
He can be forgiven a low key run at Wolverhampton last time out and should bounce back from likely danger Bellevue Lad. Only four go in the Visit racingtv.com Nursery Handicap (4.10) over five furlongs but it is a competitive affair nonetheless. At the weights JUNGLE TIME just gets the nod over Star Of Lady M. Karl Burke’s juvenile struck in this grade over course and distance in April, but then found the step up to Listed company at York a step too far a fortnight later.
He came back from a break to run well at Hamilton five days ago when a length-and-a-quarter second to Match Play and can be expected to improve on that run this afternoon.
