Verdict
This looks between the three at the top of the weights with Fridge Kid and Kingston Sassafras having little chance on these terms. Rockaroundtheclock has been in woeful form of late and may also struggle but Brasted arrives in better form having won a similar contest over track and trip on his penultimate start. HAWKIN was narrowly beaten in a handicap at Bath in October and seemed not to stay the 1m2f at Kempton last time. He gets another chance over a mile today with the Teputina hard to fancy making her debut at this level.
