Arranmore - 16:20 Hamilton

Flags: Top Rated, Horse In Focus

Arranmore was rated much higher than his current mark at his peak, but he endured a low-key 2022 for David O'Meara, and as a result he has tumbled in the weights. However, he fared much better on his first start since undergoing a breathing operation on his return from eight months off at Thirsk 11 days ago on just his second start for this yard. Arranmore was ridden a little too aggressively on that occasion, going clear early in the straight and headed in the final 50 yards. He is entitled to have come on for that outing and, in a less-competitive race now, he may take a bit of stopping.
