      Verdict

      HAAJES can continue to mop up the prize money and relegate The Jobber and Mango Music to minor roles. The selection has struck a rich vein of form this autumn and justified strong support to score at Hamilton before making it two wins from three starts with victory at Redcar. The conditions were fairly testing but it was a ready success and he should prove hard to beat if his exertions haven't caught up with him. Chartist has the ability to rout this field but his second to Corrybrough in April has proved to be the highlight of his season rather than a precursor of better things and he has shown no signs of a revival. Mango Music won here in May and continues to perform creditably; she's high enough in the weights but could take advantage if the selection fails to run to form. The Jobber falls into a similar category but isn't the easiest to win with these days whilst Godfrey Street is a shadow of his former self. Regal Royale is only 3lbs higher than when winning here on heavy ground at the start of September and enters calculations on that form but it's hard to get away from Haajes.
