A winner over this course on heavy ground last July that remains her last win although she has run some decent races since mixing hurdling with her Flat exploits. On the form of her win here she should be able to take a hand in the finish.

Give in the ground suit this one ideally and hailing from an in-form yard he confirmed the promise he had shown in his previous start when winning at Beverley last time out. Shoulders a 6lb penalty here but still expected to take a big hand here in the proceedings.

Still only has one win to his name when with his previous yard but hasn't really fired for this yard this year after shaping as if he was better for his reappearance run. One that can only be watched for now given his form of late.

Back on the Flat now after winning on his hurdling debut although his best Flat form has come on the AW and faces a stiff task back on the level on turf.

Forged clear here last time out when scoring again after her Fairyhouse win saw her return to form ending a long losing run. Now upped 8lb for the 7L winning romp last time she still looks well treated and is clearly in the best of health going for the hat-trick.

Maiden handicapper who has been placed at Beverley on her last two starts off similar marks. Steps up in trip again here and wears the cheekpieces for the second time but does look rather held off this mark.

Makes not only her handicap debut but also has her initial run for this yard after running in three maidens for Tom Dascombe. She's bred to be suited by middle distances and remains with potential with the hood going on for the first time.

Rather in and out form this year and tried over 1m2f last time out when she appeared to fail to get home so stepping up again in trip looks a rather strange move. Handicapper looks reluctant to release his grip and should find one or two too good here.

Both handicap outings so far have been rather underwhelming and despite a further drop in the handicap others make much more appeal in this.

Mistiness (5/2), Indian Chief (7/2), Taxmeifyoucan (9/2), Rosemay (7/1), Henpecked (9/1), Savannah Moon (10/1), Invictus (12/1), Sepal (14/1), Leven (16/1), Eyreborn (25/1)

20:00 Hamilton - 5 August 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

MISTINESS has a very good chance of completing her hat-trick here with a rise of 8lb looking fair enough for a 7L win. Indian Chief is the obvious danger especially if the ground gets any softer as he now looks in peak form again. Most of the others look held off their marks although Invictus would be interesting if gaining an easy lead with Eyreborn the unknown quantity making her handicap/stable debut for the Dalgeish yard that does well with their runners here.
  1. Mistiness
  2. Indian Chief
  3. Eyreborn
