Dizzy In The Head held on well when successful at Hamilton last time and may find things tougher here off a 5lb higher mark so preference is for Raccoon, who gets the vote ahead of Bold Marc. The last mentioned has been slowly coming to hand and has been given a chance by the handicapper but may just need dropping a few more pounds. Catch The Cat is closely matched with Dizzy In The Head on Hamilton running and cannot be discounted along with Grigorovitch, who was not beaten far last time. The vote though goes to Raccoon, who has gone well here before, has slipped to a fair mark and hails from a yard very much in form.
