Hattons Hill is a real course specialist and should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of outings. Harry Hogarth’s charge looks a threat to all but LATE DATE (NAP) jumped really well and was always holding favourite Socksy on just his second start over fences at Sedgefield. He’s only gone up 3lb for that and can double up with a similar effort. Moorstown has place claims if fully wound-up but Dartford Warbler is hard to win with and age will catch up with See Double You at some stage.
