TOP weight Laffah can show his liking of the track by landing the Monmouth Handicap at Chepstow tomorrow.

Gary Moore's six-year-old gained an easy course and distance success at the Welsh course less than a year ago and takes a drop in grade following a recent trip to Ascot.

It was on Heath day following the Royal meeting that Laffah finished four and three quarter lengths fourth to Treasure Chest in a competitive Handicap.

That form has worked out well with two horses who finished behind the six year old coming out and winning since. Add to that the fact that Laffah's mark has dropped to a mark 3lb below his last winning mark and his chance of success becomes even more obvious making him the nap bet.

Laffah can be a pointer to the chances of Fletcher in Newbury's opener the Stan James, The Sports Bookmakers Ladies Handicap (Lady Amateur Riders).

Fletcher finished third, a head in front of the nap, after looking all over the winner of the two miles event.

That may have been a trip too far as Hugh Morrison's charge has never won over two miles so he is likely to benefit from the drop to the extended 14 furlongs and can strike again.

The John Gosden-trained Bright Smile showed enough on her debut at fourth to Silky Dawn to suggest she can open her account in the Fifehead At The Races Maiden Fillies' Stakes.

Brevity makes a quick reappearance in the ROA Selhurstpark Flyer Handicap at Epsom after being beaten by the draw at Newcastle last Saturday.

Milton Bradley's charge was joint-favourite for a competitive six-furlong sprint despite being on the stands' side.

He led the unfavoured high numbers until about a furlong out and weakened into 12th spot of 20 as the far side took control.

That run is best ignored as he had been in tremendous form up until then, winning six times. One came over this course and distance when he beat Undeterred, coincidentally the winner of that Newcastle race.

And at Southwell, Rudder can get his head in front in the Ollerton Median Auction Maiden Stakes after failing by the minimum margin to peg back Mostarsil at Pontefract.
