Ginato had the measure of Qaaraat when scoring at Catterick last week and most of a 6lb penalty is negated by an apprentice’s allowance. But ELLADORA’s victory at Hamilton looks stronger form as she beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and Kate Scott’s filly can go in again. Kilconquhar also won at Hamilton last month and is 5lb higher while Thread Count has more scope than most in first-time headgear.
