Viking Warrior is in fine shape and loves a tight track but a very wide draw curtails his prospects as it does the consistent Cyflymder. Join Up has won three times since the beginning of last month and has shot up 15lb as a consequence but HAYEK looks well enough treated to double his winning tally. Tim Easterby's charge has only scored once in 22 starts but looked unfortunate at Beverley on Tuesday and with Adam Carter again doing the steering he's taken to gain compensation. The consistent Goldstorm has her first outing on Turf on her eighth start and if taking to the surface should make her presence felt. Chosen Character is well handicapped though his best form has been on quicker ground.
