Recent Hamilton winner RALEIGH QUAY has been in much better form this season. Micky Hammond's revitalised five-year-old is taken to defy a 4lb rise and go in again here. Key Gold has been thereabouts without looking like winning since landing a maiden at Musselburgh in April and it could prove the same story here but Bavarian Nordic has claims with a repeat of last month's third at Thirsk. Maybeme reverted to type with a poor effort last time having won over 1m2f at this track last month while Tribal Myth has done all his winning over shorter trips at this course and could figure again if his stamina holds out.
