Verdict

Promising sort who has shaped well over the larger obstacles, MONATOMIC can get off the mark over fences for connections at the fourth time of asking on handicap debut. The Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old will face stiff opposition from the consistent Denis Hogan-trained, Barna Venture, the J P McManus-owned, Successor and the solid and consistent, Whatsinthecorner.
