A couple of these won in soft ground at Hamilton last time including ALPHA CRU. David O’Meara’s progressive filly had Omany Amber back in fourth and that looks stronger form than when Under Fox beat Tromso in a lower grade at the same track. Eminent Hipster handles the underfoot conditions and returns to a mile while Empirestateofmind only missed out on a hat-trick by a head at Ayr. Angel Amadea drops down in trip with a tongue-tie fitted and her yard in red-hot form.
