HURT YOU NEVER landed a hat-trick of fast ground victories when winning an amateurs' race at Hamilton last time. She looks worth sticking with despite a further rise in the weights. Jax Edge has been winning over shorter trips this year but Katar went close over today’s distance at Salisbury recently and a tongue-tie is applied for this. Ignac Lamar and Rich Rhythm ran well over 7f last time and the former represents last year’s winning trainer.
