Verdict
Undeterred has been making hay of late and is given the nod to complete his hat-trick at the expensive Flur Na Alba and Kings College Boy. Twice a winner a Hamilton Undeterred looks a horse still one step ahead of the handicapper and his purple patch can continue. Flur Na Alba is another in form horse with a win under his belt at Nottingham last time out. This does look tougher though and improvement is needed if he is to score. Kings college Boy could prove to be the biggest danger to the selection and is off a handy enough mark. He ran well enough to finish second of five at Nottingham last time out and is worth keeping an eye on in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Undeterred.
