Race preview
GLOBAL HUMOR travelled well at this track over further last time, suggesting this drop in trip may show him in an even better light. He looks capable of registering his third win this season, possibly at the expense of Stronsay, who finished well over shorter on his latest run at Hamilton and should be well suited by the return to this trip. The three-year-old Unashamed wasn't at his best last time but remains unexposed on turf and has the potential to bounce back.
