Mi Capricho has a strong form claim, having posted two wins and two seconds in his last four starts, all in photo finishes. The assessor has yet to catch up with him, but interestingly at the age of six all 17 starts on turf have come at either Ayr or Musselburgh. It will be interesting to see how he takes to Hamilton. ARRANMORE had enjoyed an excellent campaign until disappointing at Ayr last time for which no explanation was forthcoming, but it was not his running and he's worth another chance. Havana Party improved to score over course and distance last month and is respected along with Party Rebel, although the latter is becoming a little hard to predict.
