In depth

Verdict

Hawkhurst looks a risky proposition as he’s had 11 runs under Rules and only been placed three times - he’s also been chasing lately with little success. HEY LISTEN was beaten when falling in a maiden hunter chase at Kelso last month but has run well between the flags since then and easily beat Matthew Man in a point-to-point at Friars Haugh earlier. Lucinda Russell’s stayer is preferred to Right Of Reply.
