Verdict

HATSAWAY began the season on a 17lb higher mark and finally showed some improvement when going close at Carlisle earlier in the month. He is preferred to recent course winner Kalon Brama, who is upped in trip off a higher mark today. Best Boy won at Beverley last month but could only manage third off today's mark back at the same track last time while the likes of Hangon Harriet, Hit List and Opito are all need to improve handicapping for the first time.
