A competitive handicap to end the card. Tommy G appears to have decent claims on this third behind Summerghand over 6f at Doncaster and is a consistent sort. Inglorious lacks a recent run but won over course and distance in October. Keith Dalgleish also runs Forever A Lady and JACOB BLACK (NAP) and it’s the latter who is particularly interesting given he hasn’t been beaten far in a couple of starts over further at Hamilton since beating a subsequent winner a shade cosily over track and trip early last month. Mudawwan ran well on his first start for James Bethell at Catterick and Relight My Fire is another to consider. Mywayistheonlyway can also get competitive and Sureyoutoldme won here before disappointing at Carlisle and could easily bounce back with the plum draw.
