18:15 Hamilton

The way CAPTAIN HADDOCK finished off his race on reappearance at Doncaster last month was eye-catching and if he builds on that up in trip off the same mark with Billy Loughnane booked he is going to go close. He was pretty consistent last season without getting his head in front and deserves a prize like this now. He will likely be ridden quietly again so will require some luck when coming through late but he has a decent young pilot and he could be value even though he is vying for favouritism at around 11/2. Mister Camacho won emphatically at Catterick last month but a 7lb rise is going to demand more in a competitive race. Ravenscraig Castle shaped with plenty of encouragement when second on return and is another big player if stepping forward from that now.
