Hamilton winner Control Centre and the hat-trick seeking Kaeso are both carrying penalties and that may have opened the door for SPRINGFORTH to open his seasonal account. Richard Fahey’s gelding was only beaten a length in a better race at Hamilton last time and is reunited with Paul Hanagan today. Seaview also found only one too good at Nottingham recently, her best run on Turf, and enters the equation but Swag still looks too high in the weights.
