Slater Menswear Handicap

Dual AW winner who hinted that her turn might be near when a rallying second at Newcastle last week (1m4f); soft ground won't faze her; due a 1lb rise.

Won this in 2022 and 2023; returns for another crack in reasonable form and certainly not handicapped out of contention; seems fine on most ground.

Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground.

Below best on last two runs and he loves Hamilton; however, could be happier than some on this ground and he has run well here in the past.

Now 0-11 but was just ahead of a few of these when second to Perseus Way at Hamilton (1m5f, good to soft) and would have won had he not wandered around for pressure; slower ground is a grey area but firmly enters the reckoning.
