CRIMEA has gradually been coming back to form since joining David Nicholls from Mark Johnston and he can follow up a claimer win now back in a handicap, while Medici Time, Ziggy Lee and Lenny Bee could also get heavily involved. The selection sluiced up over this trip at Hamilton, for which he carries a penalty, but if he can repeat that effort then he would look to be a good thing. Medici Time acts on the ground and will be better for the return to this trip. His latest run is not a true reflection of his ability. Ziggy Lee has trip and conditions to his optimum and from 8lbs higher than his win over on the Rowley Course in May he still looks a player. David Brown's Lenny Bee does not have much to find with the last-named, while Rasaman looks capable of taking home some prize money if at his best, though Crimea is selected. Jonathan Doidge.
