Verdict
Quanah ploughed through the heavy ground to lose his maiden tag at Hamilton, though that was over 6f which looks his trip though he's only been raised 3lb. POPPING CORKS was carrying a 6lb penalty for an earlier victory at Hamilton and couldn't quite cope on a return visit. She's 2lb lower and will like the conditions so gets the vote. Mr Greenlight has been running well enough without quite getting there since scoring at Catterick in July but Night Law's two victories at the latter track in August came over 6f and she finished last at Carlisle last time. Corton Lass is still a maiden after 23 starts.
