Tipperary Tiger returned to winning ways at Hamilton having slipped back down the weights while Sound Reason won over the minimum trip at the same track. Be Proud and Sir Titus are others upped in distance with the former preferred having won five times here in the past but STRIKE RED’s last couple of visits to this venue have resulted in course and distance wins. The latter returns to the all-weather having finished a close-up fourth at Hamilton last time and Richard Fahey’s charge gets the vote. Tommy de Vito looks best of the rest on an earlier success at Southwell.
