Morton Fraser Macroberts LLP Handicap
Prediction Leader
Novak (GB)
0%
Went close to ending a losing sequence when runner-up at Ayr (7f, good to firm) recently; slow ground would pose a question and the drop back to 6f isn't an obvious plus, but the stiff finish helps to compensate; not ruled out.
Rest of field
Belsito (GER)
0%
Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims.
Kelpie Grey (GB)
0%
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out.
Pickersgill (IRE)
0%
Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March on third stable start then went one better at Southwell (7f, AW); won on turf at the Curragh (6f, soft) last March and this stiff 6f could be a good fit; she's one to consider, especially if slow ground prevails.
Impressor (IRE)
0%
Underwhelming on his three starts since promising reappearance run at Doncaster in March; however, he has a strong record at Hamilton and is running here for the first time this season; slow ground would be a positive.
Wish This (GB)
0%
Won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (6f, AW) last November but he's been well below that level in cheekpieces/blinkers on AW/turf on his three outings this spring.
Carlton And Co (GB)
0%
Down the field on last month's reappearance at Catterick but may have needed that run; won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and is not discounted; has run well on good to soft going.
Thunderstorm Katie (GB)
0%
Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm.
Invincible Ruby (IRE)
0%
Won at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last July when 6lb higher; a market check is advised but she's struggled so far this season.
Iris Dancer (GB)
0%
Her form has been mixed this season and she was soundly beaten at Carlisle last time; however, she's running at Hamilton for the first time this year and nine of her 11 wins have come over C&D; she's 10lb lower than when winning here last August and could bounce back with a bold show.
