      Verdict

      HAAYEM put a poor debut effort behind him and returned a shock 80/1 winner over 7f at Wolverhampton last week. Breeding suggests he’ll stay this far and Richard Hannon’s charge can defy a penalty up against weak opposition today. Lep has failed to show any real progress though is weighted to beat Greek Kodiac on these terms while Polar Cloud drops back down in trip and is preferred to Hollow Gold, who has shown nothing so far.
