Verdict
Nazik has a penalty for his victory over the minimum here last month and hasn't run well in his two starts over this trip. Bazwind made a reasonable start on fast going over this track and trip then found heavy ground against him at Leicester. HEDGING finished in front of the latter on this track and providing he handles the easier conditions he can get off the mark. Stag Party is out of a winning miler and should have enough pace on his debut.
