Forecasts

Good Morning Alex (4/1), Theoryofeverything (9/2), Arctic Mountain (5/1), Indemnity (11/2), Giselles Defence (6/1), Bubbles Wonky (8/1), Paddy The Squire (17/2), Lunario (10/1), Classy Boy (12/1), Tele Red (16/1), Stand Strong (25/1)

A useful handicap that can see 3-y-o GOOD MORNING ALEX make it 3 wins in a row at Hamilton. He's going from strength to strength, destroying his rivals from the front here the last twice, and can strike again. The returning Paddy The Squire is interesting, while Theoryofeverything and the thriving Giselles Defence can also go well.
