In depth

Verdict

La Bacouetteuse scored at Hamilton in June but was well beaten at Ayr last time despite an apprentice taking 7lb off his back. Preference is for CHOOKIE HAMILTON, a multiple course winner, who has been given a chance by the handicapper dropped 6lb for his recent placed efforts in plating company. Stormy Morning scored over a longer trip here last month but turned in one of his more familiar woeful efforts at Redcar last time though Tiger Webb went close over a shorter trip at Beverley recently and looks to have decent claims. Schmooze finds at least one too good regardless of trip and may have to settle for a place once again.
