In depth
Verdict
SELECTO returned to form at Hamilton when popping-up at a massive 125/1. He landed a double here at the turn of the year so another good effort is not out of the question. Going Underground went close over 1m2f here recently still looking for his first win while Mr Heinz posted a better effort last time with a below par Amourie behind though the latter will be sharper for that comeback run. Termonator may prove best of the rest.
