Tim Easterby's horses have been running well all this season, and he can have another winner here with his front-runner Miss Hathaway, who enjoyed the second win of her fifteen-race career by making all at Nottingham a month ago when dropping into today's class five company for the first time. Her only other win came over today's C&D in April off a two lb lower mark than the one of 74 she carries today. I think there is a good chance against today's opponents that she can get a soft lead and repeat that success.

I have lost track of the number of trainers El Bello has had over the years, but here he is having his second run for Raymond Hurley following his move from Denis Hogan, for whom he had his third and latest win over seven furlongs at Dundalk last year. On his latest outing over a mile at Sligo over a mile and two furlongs ten days ago, he never really got into the race and finished eighth. He gets in here off the handy mark of 61 minus young Taylor Kingsley's seven lb claim. I think he is worth another chance here.

After making a winning racecourse debut in a mile and three furlong Kempton maiden in April, Marco Botti's Lalique has finished runner-up to Gosden fillies on her two starts since. Both winners have gone on to frank the form in Listed company, which makes Lalique's opening mark of 83 on her handicap debut here seem generous. It's her first start on turf, which should suit, as will the step up in trip to a mile and six furlongs.

Paul Midgley's Grant Wood won the Silver Handicap Trophy over this C&D on this card last year and looks to have been aimed at the Great St Wilfrid Handicap this year. He finished second twice on the all-weather in the spring before being freshened up following a poor run at Haydock in late May. He was given an easy comeback here twelve days ago, so should be in peak form today.

David O'Meara's horses have really begun to hit form in the last few weeks, and his dual C&D winner Riot gets in here off a ten lb lower mark than when winning over this C&D. The eight-year-old ran well when staying on well despite being hampered before having his run blocked close home in a grade higher race at York last month, and you can ignore his last run on unsuitably soft ground at Yarmouth last month. I think he can take advantage of this drop in class today, and win this.

Eve Johnson Houghton has her string in great form this season, and she and jockey Charlie Bishop can have another winner here with Jumby, whose last win came in the Group Three John Of Gaunt Stakes over at Haydock two years ago. Since then, he has run well several times without getting his head in front. He gets in here off a mark of 94, which is twelve lbs below a winning mark for him. He was left short of room at the start at Newmarket last week, but still managed to stay on for third place. As a four-year-old, he won the Group Three Hungerford Stakes over today's C&D. A return to anything near that form should be good enough this afternoon.

Roger Varian's Fire Flame ran reasonably well when finishing sixth, just under six lengths behind the winner in a good Windsor handicap over six furlongs on his seasonal debut in June. He made good headway from the back before running out of steam late on. Next time out, off a two lb lower mark, he raced far too keenly when beaten favorite also over six furlongs at Nottingham. Today, a further three lbs are taken off his handicap mark, and he could be suited by the extra furlong of this evening's race, which should help him settle.

Daniel & Claire Kubler's Andaleep is one of the most consistent horses running at this level, as he showed when gamely holding on to win a similar race to this at Yarmouth at the end of July. He followed that by finishing a very close fourth place, about a quarter length behind the winner under a four lb penalty the following week at Wolverhampton. I think this game nine-year-old, who always seems to run his race, can go in again here where he is already a dual C&D winner.

I'm not sure where Andrew Balding lies on the trainers' table, but his horses have been in such fantastic form all this season that it must be somewhere near the top. That good form can continue here with Lieber Power, who hit form in the middle of last summer, winning a Racing League race at Chepstow before finishing just a neck behind Night Breeze in this race. The pair meet again this evening with the Balding gelding 18 lbs better off in the weights. While he couldn't repeat last year's Chepstow win last week, he did run one of his best races of the season to finish third. He looks to be coming back to form again and could go a place better here.

David O'Meara's eight-year-old C&D winner Aberama Gold won his thirteenth race last month at York. Then a wide draw scuppered his chance of following up next out at Newmarket. His latest run came on the all-weather at Wolverhampton and, while he does have three wins on that surface, his strike rate on it is not quite as good as it is on turf. Hamilton is a course that tends to favour those who race prominently, which should suit his front-running style. He remains in good form and is only a lb higher than he was for his win last month.

The sole win of Philip Kirby's Wasthatok's career so far came in a two-mile maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan back in 2023 while he was still trained by Gavin Cromwell. Since then, he has passed through the hands of Kerry Lee before arriving at his current stable, for whom he has had just the one run, finishing sixth of the seven runners at Newcastle eleven days ago, where he was given a very easy time. The seven-year-old remains unexposed on the flat and is making his turf handicap debut here today. This is only his sixth run on the level, so he could have more to come. This is a rather poor quality class 4 handicap, so he could be worth a few quid each way at a big price.

The return to the all-weather and drop back to seven furlongs could revitalize the Warren Greatrex-trained Gilet, who as a two-year-old had an impressive record of only once finishing outside the first two in five starts on the surface. His record on turf is less impressive. Last time out, he finished eleventh of the fifteen runners in a mile handicap at Glorious Goodwood. But today, back on an artificial surface and over seven furlongs, I'm sure he will do a lot better.

The five-year-old has finished fourth on all three of his starts this year but has never been beaten by more than two lengths. He has run over a variety of trips this season, and today he is dropped back to six furlongs, a distance he has won over before. He looks well handicapped off a mark of 68, which is eight lbs lower than the one he won off over this distance at Nottingham a couple of years ago. With Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off a further five lbs for his claim, he should have a great chance of getting his head in front here this afternoon.
