Verdict

Arcavallo has been showing very good pace over 6f and was slightly unfortunate not to hold on at Thirsk. He'll make a bold bid while Lina's Star was staying on at the finish over this trip at Hamilton so the stiff track and testing ground should suit. Ben My Cheree was well supported here a couple of weeks ago but weakened when headed so will need to do better and Fortunate Vision was very green when last of four at Yarmouth. Racing Radio and Biddy Brady are from yards going well but the vote goes to CHOOSEY. Henry Candy's speedily-bred colt made his debut over 6f at Newbury where he led until headed at the furlong pole so this trip should be ideal.
