Verdict
A tricky puzzle to solve as there is nothing to choose between Guishan and Cadeaux Power on Hamilton running. Bimbo beat Cadeaux Power at Carlisle last month but is 5lb higher here and fourth Jamesbo's Girl has a chance of reversing the form with the first two on today's revised terms. Pretty Bubbles has been thriving over longer trips but is still climbing the weights and Spiraea has been a bit disappointing this year. AVON BREEZE won at Beverley in July so should enjoy the stiff finish here. She's been far from disgraced in subsequent runs, including at Doncaster last week, and may be ready to resume winning ways.
