Verdict
It might be significant that HATHA HOOH is turned out again quickly after finishing third over 6f at Leicester on Monday. He was beaten less than a length and the drop back in distance shouldn't be a problem. Urban Dreamer ran in Listed company at Sandown last month but had an alternative engagement at that track last night while Lingfield fourth Fantasy Justifier is only making slow progress. State Anthem cost 42,000gns and is a half-sister to a couple of winners so may prove the pick of the newcomers.
