In depth
Verdict
HOT HANNAH (NAP) has gone close in soft going the last twice including a third over track and trip. Michael Dods’ filly can get her head back in front dropping down a grade for this. Rockley Point’s recent success at Hamilton came over 6f while today’s ground may prove a problem for Brighton runner-up Toni's A Star. Star Cracker finished second at Newcastle last week but finished behind the selection before that while recent Musselburgh runner-up Griffin Street has yet to win in 22 attempts.
