Left his first 2 efforts of the year well behind to win 12-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 17 days ago, just holding on. Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher.

Classy Al38
Age: 8|  Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR:  67| CD
Quirky sort who hit a purple patch last summer, winning 3 times, including C&D. Hasn't featured in a couple of big-field Class 4s at Musselburgh this spring but may do a lot better returned to a lower grade and with Paul Mulrennan back in the saddle.

All 7 wins on all-weather, the latest at Wolverhampton (5f) 23 days ago. A 0-20 turf record means confidence isn't high about him following up.

Forecasts

Henery Hawk (2/1), Hi Lord (9/4), Military Girl (5/1), Thunderstorm Katie (5/1), Water Of Leith (7/1), Donald (10/1), Classy Al (25/1), Jm Jhingree (25/1)

Verdict

Although CLASSY AL has failed to fire in a couple of starts at Musselburgh this spring this is the place where he's gained the majority of his wins. Five of his 7 successes have also come when ridden by Paul Mulrennan, who returns to the saddle for the first time this year. Jim Goldie's 8-y-o has a reduced mark to work with and can bounce back to form and prove too strong for stablemate Thunderstorm Katie and the Michael Dods-trained Military Girl.
