Verdict
HASSELNOTT has had all three runs to date on testing ground and showed good speed in his first two starts before finding 7f beyond him at Listowel. He's handed the vote in the hope today's conditions will suit him better. Jenniechild didn't get the best of runs at Down Royal and did well to get as close as she did while Kabaw has run better than form figures suggest over further. Piazzini has had two starts over 6f and run well enough to get involved but Jim Bolger's newcomer Vocal Experience is bred for further.
