There must be some doubt as to whether Hatton Flight and Resentful Angel will have their optimum conditions whilst Hollow Green lacks a recent run and may still be too high in the weights. Jutland has to prove himself over the trip and on easy ground whilst Ouster may just find that DENTON and Herculean prove to be better handicapped. The latter is from a top-class family and may well prove better than an 84 rated runner in time but he's likely to be short enough for what he's actually achieved on the track so preference is for Denton who has really come to himself of late and looks capable of making further progress over a trip that should suit with the ground in his favour.
