HONRADO - 13/2
HONRADO showed enough at Yarmouth last week to suggest he might be ready to strike.
Hollie Doyle was aboard for that close third and keeps the ride, which is a clear plus, while the return to 1m4f and Wolverhampton—where he’s shaped well before—could suit. The addition of a hood seems to have helped settle him, and his effort over this course two runs ago was better than it looked, having overcome a poor start and used up plenty of petrol early.
This isn’t a strong race, and with Doyle back on board and conditions in his favour, Honrado is worth one more chance.

INDIVIDUALISM - 15/2
INDIVIDUALISM IS worth chancing with first-time cheekpieces at Hamilton, especially with Charlie Johnston’s team going well. The four-year-old is only 2lb higher than when narrowly denied by Gincident at Beverley and has shown enough to suggest he’s capable of defying this mark. A sibling to the top-class Subjectivist, he may find the headgear unlocks the improvement needed to land a second career win.
8.40 EPSOM
PLAY ME - 5/1
PLAY ME has been shaping like a winner-in-waiting and could be ready to strike on his tenth start. The son of Too Darn Hot ran well at Salisbury and Brighton recently, finishing third and fourth respectively, and remains on a mark of 60. With 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy back in the saddle, he effectively runs from a reduced rating and now returns to Brighton, where excuses could be made for his previous effort. Learning with experience since switching to Jim Boyle, he looks ready to put it all together.
