I've got L'Ami each way - on the dubious grounds that it sounds like Lammie

just been watching the national reply ... very bizarre ending .. any one of 12 could have won prior to the 3rd last .. mon mome was only mentioned after the melling road ..

Me too & none of mine made the frame this year. It wasn't all bad, my mammy remembered I mentioned Mon Mome to her last year & said it was a factor in her having £2 each way on it this year.

Off the top of my head, the race at Towcester was a 3m novice hurdle.

That being the case, it ain't really comparable with a 4m 4f race over the biggest fences in the business and you wouldn't want to read too much into the form of it.

That said, jockey bookings suggest the Venetia Williams' stable fancied Stan, which was ridden by the very highly regarded Aaron Coleman, rather more than Mon Mome, which was ridden by the very under-rated Liam Treadwell.

I backed Comply Or Die. :-(

If I'd have joined 2 weeks ago I'd have shared Mon Mome as my nap! Saw it was in the race on the friday, and i had seen the horse earlier in the season and was very impressed with how it looked and jumped. was astonished that it slipped under the radar like it did. best fiver each way ill ever place!

Was at towcester again on Sunday ... Mon mome was there soaking up the plaudits .. venetia williams was saying over the tannoy that Mome needed a run out and was far better for it ...
