        Verdict

        Hawk Mountain was in a decent vein of form before his break he is expected to make the frame on his return to action today where he may be joined by the in-form Trip The Light but for us OVERRULE gets the verdict. The gelding made a winning return to action last time out. He has slipped to a lenient mark on the flat now and there may be better to come. He finds himself up against some fierce competition though and Richard Fahey's progressive three-year-old Trip The Light looks capable of piling pressure on the selection. He was a winner at Catterick last time continuing the fine form of his stable.
