Northern Bolt, Bonnie Prince Blue, Royal Blade and Babich Bay were all engaged to run at Hamilton yesterday. The latter would have leading claims if turning up having won easily on his latest start, but a chance is taken on INGLEBY ARCH. He went close at Redcar last time and is 1lb lower than when scoring in heavy ground over C&D last season. Beckermet finished ahead of the selection at this track in July and should be thereabouts again, but Blown It and last year's winner Gracie's Gift have both been below their best of late.
