A king and queen ruled Monmore in February.

The Dog of the Month was the Pat Curtin trained King Dan (Shaneboy Spencer-Pretty Fantasy, Mar 14) with a 4/4 strike rate for the month – a tenner accumulator would have nicked you just over £300. The Booze And Loyals runner actually extended the run to five in March.

Kennel mate and Bitch of the month was Queen Linda (Droopys Scolari-Shaws Dilemma, Dec 14), owned (and bred) by the KSS Syndicate. with two wins and a second.
