Re: Pontefract 6th July 15:00 - Monkton Vale LAY @ 3.30 Betfair I can't believe this one has been price up as favourite. Monkton Vale was disappointing lto and although expected to run alot better today he'll do well to win. His threatened to win a race once, when beating a neck at York, that form doesn't look anything good with the other four runners in the race all well beat next time out and have been from there after. Given the horse is 1lb higher now than when posting that 2nd at York (although 3lb lower than lto) I think he'll find it very tough to win, as I said, Sadlers Mark should fair better and there are a couple fto in handicap company. If this one is trained and ridden by a lesser partnership, I don't think we'd be seeing a price such as this.
