Monmore set for two Category One Finals

It is one of the biggest nights of the year at Monmore on Saturday. The Ladbrokes Gold Cup and Summer Stayers are two hugely competitive finals with the latter, being one of the top staying races in recent memory.

All 12 races on the evening are open race contests from 6.31 to 9.39. There are races over 264m, 480m, 630m, 684m and 900m so something for everyone on a well-balanced evening.

The sponsors have reported some small bits and pieces around for Cooladerry Dust and Churchfield Syd but they anticipate that interest will pick up considerably on Saturday. Prices from Ladbrokes are as follows:

Gold Cup

5/6 Churchfield Syd 7/2 Antigua Eagle 4/1 Cunnigar Yousir 10/1 Ballymac John, Untold Euro 16/1 Seaview Sydney

Summer Stayers

2/1 Droopys Clue 9/4 Cooladerry Dust 5/2 Queen Georgia 7/1 Savana Jackpot 12/1 Baywatch Bullet, Coonough Crow
