Jack Lamb is relatively unexposed compared to the majority of these and he isn’t badly treated on his best form. Louloumills is a course winner who finished second over 3m at Perth 12 days ago, though was still beaten 15 lengths. BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (NAP) has returned from a break in very good form and easily accounted for a couple of previous winners at Southwell earlier this month. He has a penalty here but will be racing off a higher mark in the near future. Russian Royale has gone up 6lb for winning at Hexham and has run here nine times already without success but the returning Irish Hawke is worth considering with his stable going well.
