PLAY SMARTER The hat-trick beckons for THE MAD MONK, who continues to go from strength to strength, and with Harry Davies’ claim more than negating a 6lb penalty, Richard Spencer’s charge should take some stopping. Nemorum’s inexperienced rider didn’t get anywhere near the bottom of him when third over C&D last month so he heads up the dangers with a fully-fledged rider taking over, ahead of Tiare.
