Take Hart at Hamilton
Alan Swinbank’s charge has been struggling to find his level a little this season but he was not disgraced last time at Beverley when a six-length fifth to Raphael over a mile.
The winner was a good thing that day but Hartshead looked as though an extra furlong could bring out the best in him.
Although the son of Machiavellian would not want a hugely long trip, nine furlongs should suit and he can get a win on the board here.
Karminskey Park can make it two wins on the bounce in the Tote Exacta Stakes.
The four-year-old Sabrehill filly has had a bit of a break since her last run, when she won a five-furlong event at Newcastle at the end of May.
She just got home by a short head that day and she certainly seemed to appreciate a bit of juice in the ground.
Despite her apparent preference for some give, Karminskey Park can also shine on firmer ground, as she proved when finishing fourth at Musselburgh and Nottingham at the start of the season.
Annabel Lee looks the class act in the Clydesdale Bank Asset Finance Median Auction Maiden Stakes.
Mark Johnston sends this daughter of Halling for her racecourse debut and she can make the best possible start for her in-form handler. There is plenty of speed on her dam’s side and this six-furlong event should be a perfect introduction.
