14:45 (Hamilton) COSA SARA

The 6lbs penalty may not be enough to prevent Cosa Sara from replicating his narrow win over 7f at Ayr. Zumaaty also arrives following a fine effort at Ayr having been denied a head tackling 1m and must be respected.

Mac Ailey is generally consistent. Drops in trip after finishing third off this mark at Beverley (1 ¼m) last-time-out. Banner Road also merits consideration.

15:20 (Hamilton) ESQUIRE

Newcomer Esquire can make a winning debut. The David O'Meara trained gelded son of Harry Angel may prove up to the task. Nominal Event could go close if building on a pleasing debut third over 6f at Thirsk.

Emu War finished third attempting a course and distance maiden on her second start and cannot be ruled out. Amancio completes the shortlist.

16:30 (Hamilton) RESTORER

None of the five can be dismissed though Restorer is a confident selection set to follow up his neck success over 1 ⁹⁄₁₆m in this class at Chester nine days ago. Ayr Poet turns out quickly under a penalty after winning by a head tackling 1m at Ayr on Friday.

Previous course winner Detective holds sound claims on the back of a rock-solid second-placed finish at Carlisle (1 ⅜m). Goodwood runner-up Dundory will have no issue on this ground and also warrants notable consideration.

18:15 (Hamilton) EARN YOUR STRIPE

Earn Your Stripes shaped nicely in defeat when fifth over 7f here last time. Could go close dropping in distance off an unchanged mark. Ffos Las runner-up Willingly is three from twelve tackling 6f and needs to be included alongside Woobay who would be thereabouts on form he showed when fifth at Thirsk on penultimate outing. Others with each-way claims are Mr Trevor and Chrismoltisanti.
