Verdict

Hammadi is taken to score here with Tawzeea and Narmeen others to consider. The selection has only had three runs but he put in his best effort yet when chasing home Inxile at Haydock last time. He has the best of the draw today so he should take plenty of beating. Tawzeea showed plenty of promise on his debut over 6f at Haydock but he looks the type who will do better over further in time. He does have a good draw though and he has to be respected. Narmeen was well beaten last time in a stronger race than this. She can't be ruled out but she has had plenty of chances and we are happy to take her on. Viscaya showed promise on her debut but she failed to build on that last time and she can't be backed with any confidence. A tricky opener but Hammadi has plenty in his favour and he can land the prize.
