Hurry Up Hedley opened his account when scoring at Wolverhampton with Twistaline back in fourth and Penelopeblueyes further behind. The Haggas charge makes more appeal than Alphonse Le Grande but FAST STYLE looks more of a threat. The latter finished second at Kempton on his handicap debut and first start over a mile and Roger Charlton’s charge can race off the same mark today. Egypsyan Crackelli also improved at Kempton on his handicap bow and looks best of the rest.
