A Montmartre (6/4), Hermarna (6/4), Kaspian Tern (5/1), Maggie's Dawn (12/1), Actonetaketwo (25/1), Spanish Queen (25/1)

A MONTMARTRE cost her connections €33,000 and they will be hoping she can land this as there will be few easier opportunities to recover some of the outlay. She has faced much sterner tests than this to date and her Flat form in France suggests she may possess too much speed for these. Her Plumpton third last month looks good enough to take this. Hermarna has not really adapted to this game but has winning form on the level. This is a lot easier than when chasing home the useful Secret Door last time and blinkers are now applied. The rest are a poor lot and Kaspian Tern may have enough about her to finish third.
