Oulan Bator goes well at Hamilton and is fancied to gain his second course and distance success; Sawwaah and Burnley Al are expected to give the selection the most to do. Burnley Al has held his form well lately and comes here in obvious good heart. This trip should be no problem for the four-year-old and he is very much one to monitor in the betting. Sawwaah has also enjoyed a purple patch of late and has paid his way in win and place money. Victoria Beehan helps his cause with her 7lb claim today and a bold bid cannot be ruled out. However, both may struggle to give weight away to Oulan Bator, who drops into this grade for the first time. Richard Fahey's charge is still relatively unexposed on these shores and, as he is versatile regarding his ground and trip, the Ex-French gelding rates as a solid value option in the opener.
