Racing Post verdict
Third-partyIntrusively heads this Hamilton Class 5 mile contest rated five clear of Rajapour, giving him a meaningful edge on paper in a field of ten on good ground. Rajapour is the most obvious threat alongside Sunriseontheboyne and Ephron, who share the same rating and could complicate matters if Intrusively fails to reproduce his best. Confidence is modest here, and the closeness of the chasing pack means this is far from a foregone conclusion. **Intrusively** is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Intrusively
