3:35 Hamilton Tips

I would not want to be Shipshape travelling all the way north to Hamilton (a near 760-mile round trip). That said, connections must feel this is the right race, and who are we to say otherwise. Twice a runner-up and a win in his last three starts, so he is in form and very likely to go close.

Possibly hit the front too soon when sent off favourite and runner-up over further in an apprentice race at Nottingham last time out. The more experienced hands of Shane Gray in the saddle is a positive.
