Verdict

Natajack won over a mile at Hamilton last time but has a bit to prove over today’s trip judged on previous efforts. Lucky Red travels over from Ireland having gone close at Down Royal and has every chance in this but HAYMARKET is preferred. The latter was beaten only a head in an amateurs’ race over track and trip last month and is taken to confirm running with fourth-placed Palindrome in the process of going one better.
