HASSELNOTT won over a mile here recently having finished runner-up to Yuften, rated 95, in a decent claimer over track and trip earlier. He can confirm running with third-placed That Is The Spirit and another bold bid is expected. Dandys Gold won over 6f here last time but War Hero is preferred on December’s course and distance success while Gougane Barra landed a double over a mile here before finishing behind recent runner-up Sevenleft. Gasta will be sharper for a recent outing and makes more appeal than the returning Rockfish over today’s trip.
