Forecasts

The Great Wall (6/4), Desert Frost (5/2), Logi (7/2), Bahamian Dollar (5/1), Big Les (6/1), Chookie Dunedin (20/1)

The C&D winners Logi and Big Les are likely to set the early fractions, which could set the race up for one of the others. The Great Wall rates as a leading contender if able to adapt to this drop in trip after a fine comeback run at York last month, but under useful 5lb claimer Cameron Noble the top-weight DESERT FROST is more alluring. There was no disgrace in his latest Lingfield run (form solid) despite being a beaten 7/4f, and unexposed in handicap company, he can provide trainer Saeed Bin Suroor with a rare Hamilton Park success (1/5; 20% course strike-rate in the past five years).
