Verdict

A strong race for a Tuesday in Scotland, so plaudits to the Hamilton Park executive for offering up this decent prize. Malton handler Brian Ellison holds a strong hand with his pair of last time out winners BARAWEEZ and First Flight. The latter named was a very shrewd claim and he had ¾L in hand of Balestra (4lb better off today) when winning on stable debut at Ayr the weekend before last whereas the selection remains handily weighted despite a 5lb rise for his May Chester victory. Others worthy of mention with place prospects at the very least include the extremely busy of late Whatsthemessage.
