Verdict
Multellie made all for an easy victory at Hamilton on Monday. He has a penalty but has won off this mark in the past, though is drawn alongside another confirmed front-runner in Be Perfect and there’s a danger that they will take each other on and set things up for a finisher. Veteran Tapis Libre only seems to win for amateur Joanna Mason nowadays while Remember The Days didn’t appear top stay when tried over this trip at York in June. Akamanto is probably in the handicapper’s grip now as he was well behind Be Perfect at Thirsk last time, though ahead of Play It Cool. DELSHEER has been lightly campaigned this year but has been placed over this trip at Wolverhampton the last twice and should be thereabouts if transferring that form back to Turf.
