The three-year-olds look the more likely victors in this event and although his thoughts are more likely to be centred on Ascot at the weekend, Sir Michael Stoute would be disappointed if Mawaqeet were not up to this assignment. The form of his second to Trade Commissioner at Sandown is just about the best on offer and the visor is utilised in order to keep him about his business. Roc De Prince never seriously threatened to turn over the long odds-on Biographer at Doncaster though he consented to at least give chase. Cottesmore realised US $230 000 as a yearling and is one to note for the future, but for today, we like the claims of SIR QUINTIN. Andrew Balding has not had a runner at Hamilton for many years and the value of his debut second at Sandown was recently boosted when the winner went on to score in a Salisbury handicap off a mark of 83.
