Monmore Race 5 - Ladbrokes Gold Cup 2026- Heat 3
SHAKE THE BOTTLE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 10 wins and four minors from 15 tries. Below best last time at Monmore (29.36) in a OR, finishing a 14 length fifth. With a clean break looks hard to beat. BALLYMAC BLANCO (2) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, in a OR at Monmore over 480m (29.51). Suited this easier grade and can turn form around. MAGICAL KEITH (4) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 0.8 lengths (28.44) at Monmore. Form should stack up again here. FORGOTTOTELLYA (5) is building a nice sequence of wins – must be respected.
