Agar's Plough needs to bounce back from a poor run over 1m2f here last time but had finished second on his previous start when a pound higher. Strawberryandcream was a 20/1 chance when winning a Catterick maiden three weeks ago but Frankster is a previous course and distance winner while Be Bold hasn’t been disgraced at Hamilton since winning at Musselburgh. MAC AILEY has only raced on similar going once before and finished second. Also placed at Leicester in June, the three-year-old gets another chance.
