Make it Monty’s in Munster National
The presence of top weight, Foxchapel King, has ensured that only seven will face the starter and just the top three are in the handicap proper. Monty’s Pass produced the performance of his life at Listowel, jumping for fun and powering home two lengths clear of Putsometnby (rec. 27lbs).
Foxchapel King was quite brilliant in the early part of last season, winning three times in a row and starting his campaign with victory in this contest. He had Monty’s Pass five and a half lengths behind in third spot then, but the selection now re-opposes on 11lbs better terms.
