Verdict
Inexes is penalised for winning over 6f at Hamilton and Dark Crystal also carries 6lb extra having won over a mile at the same meeting. Rioja Day is another making a quick reappearance under a penalty after scoring over track and trip but DUTCH ARTIST can race off the same mark as when runner-up in soft going at Wetherby last week. David O’Meara’s charge gets another chance in this ahead of Jay Kay, placed over track and trip the last twice.
