Won at Newcastle (AW; from a similar mark) in January on his first attempt over 5f; less effective since, dwelling and failing to make his presence felt over C&D (tenth of 13; Class 3) latest; this race is easier and Paul Mulrennan is back aboard.

SR 54 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Didn't have things go smoothly but stuck on positively down the outer when closing third (Canaria Queen second) at Ripon (5f, good) a fortnight ago; two of his three wins have been at tracks with a stiff uphill finish (Beverley and Leicester) and he's handicapped to go close at the least.

SR 53 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
Justified favouritism at Southwell (6f) in April and pipped by Hi Lord over C&D (good) the following week; less competitive at Catterick (7f) and Carlisle (6f) on last two outings and the handicapper might have his measure.

SR 55 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Headgear removed when he pounced late to beat Mount Ruapehu over C&D (good; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; ran to an identical level on RPRs when third here last week; should give his running at a track (form figures 2613) which suits.

SR 57 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
8lb lower than when last successful at Thirsk (5f Class 4, good to firm; 6-4 favourite) last August; struggled this season and reared at the start when in rear throughout (behind two of these) at Ripon latest.

SR 49 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .
In-form mare; twice successful this season, including at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good; from 5lb lower); runner-up at Ripon on last two outings (Tees Aggregates a close third on penultimate start); has no issues with this track; merits respect.

SR 59 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Signs of ability in AW novice/maidens (5f-6f) but has looked something of a work in progress; taken out of her intended handicap debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last week because of unsuitable ground, so this projected softer surface could suit; best watched for the moment.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Canaria Queen (SR 59, 7/2) is the top-rated horse in the field and carries just 9-2, a clear weight advantage over Pal Joey and Tees Aggregates (both 9-9) despite her superior SR. Her form string of 616122 is the most consistent in the race — three placings and two wins from her last six runs — and the rightmost figures show a 2-1-2 sequence that confirms she is in peak form right now. Tim Easterby is an accomplished handler of sprinting mares and the Good ground at Hamilton over 5f7y suits a sharp, in-form type. The market at 7/2 is broadly fair but not prohibitively short, making this a clear value-aligned pick.
Each-way alternative: Hi Lord.
Main danger: Hi Lord — Hi Lord (SR 57, 11/4) is the market leader, carries a favourable 9-6, and his form of 8-0513 shows a recent third and a win earlier in the sequence — if he bounces back from the 0, he has the SR and market confidence to trouble Canaria Queen.
