Verdict

STRONSAY won over today’s trip at Hamilton last month and looks capable of scoring off his current mark having gone close again at the same track when ahead of Amazing Alba. The latter is back on a winning mark and is preferred to Global Humor, who has been in good form over 7f and can figure again. Unashamed has won on the all-weather while Roman Encounter has yet to race over this far.
