Verdict
Sir Boreas Hawk would have made short work of these in his prime but it's not encouraging that he's dropped straight into a seller on his return after more than two years on the sidelines. Rare Coincidence has a shorter absence to overcome but may also be worth opposing while Scriptwriter is now tried in blinkers after a string of poor efforts, albeit against better opposition. MARINO PRINCE doesn't have much to find on official ratings and wasn't disgraced in a handicap over further here in January. He can end his winless run today with the less-exposed Hammer probably best of the rest.
