This appears to be a good opportunity for HAWK HOUSE who is confidently selected over the likes of La Troupe and Dusk. The selection ran well to finish third behind Torpichen at Leicester last time when the heavy ground did not aid his cause. He had prevously gone close at Brighton when chasing home Gracechurch and he looks capable of getting his head in front off his current mark. La Troupe has got some fair form but the big worry with her is the trip as she has not really shaped as though she will get it. Dusk was only beaten a neck by Andaman Sunset at Great Leighs last time and he had previously been a little unlucky here at Kempton so he has to be respected. Lazeyma is surely better than she showed last time and the race may have come too quickly for her. Brexca has been showing a good level of consistency and he is another with place claims.
