Drinking in the Last Chance Saloon with Montaff

2.55 Wetherby - Racing UK 1 Price 3 Devices Novices Handicap Hurdle 


It's possible I need my bumps feeling for doing so, but I’m inclined to give one more chance to MONTAFF, who is essentially disappointing, but retains plenty of ability and could easily blow these away if consenting to put his best foot forward. Once a pattern-class stayer on the Flat, he’s yet to show much over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Fakenham last time. It’s easy enough to forgive any horse a poor run at that idiosyncratic track, however, and the wide open spaces of Wetherby look much more suitable here. He’s more likely to sulk around than he is to race with enthusiasm, in truth, but that is compensated for in a price drifting towards 20/1. 

Recommended:

1pt win Montaff @ 18/1 (various)
