Hazelhurst can follow up her comeback win, with Tour d'Amour, Riquewihr, Dispol Katie and Petite Mac just four dangerous rivals in a tight-looking finale. Hazelhurst came back with a bang when opening her account at Catterick a few weeks ago, clearly appreciating the seven furlongs as she overcame being forced wide to prevail. As that was her first outing since October, the daughter of Night Shift should almost certainly improve a few pounds, and she is fancied to follow up. Tour d'Amour has been a model of consistency since gaining back-to-back wins on the Southwell Fibresand and looks well enough treated to be considered for a place again, while close Leicester second Riquewihr will be suited by the step back up in trip. Dispol Katie kept on well when second to Tagula Sunrise at Ayr, and Petite Mac also stayed on well behind Bodden Bay over six furlongs here. All have claims of a sort, but Hazelhurst has the form in the bag, and should pay to follow again.
