Verdict
A few of these are old rivals and Orioninverness beat Under The Red Sky, Verko and Trouble In Paris over 2m4f here four weeks ago, though that was on heavy going. HATTONS HILL (NAP) has suddenly clicked into gear and, though raised another 5lb since a second course and distance victory, can complete his hat-trick being far less exposed than the majority of these. Medal Of Freedom didn’t quite get home upped to 3m2f at Sedgefield last time but should find this within his range and has each-way claims.
