HAWKBILL (NAP) beat a couple of subsequent winners to land a maiden race at Lingfield last month so the form looks rock-solid. He also had Hombre Rojo more than six lengths behind and a line through the latter gives him the beating of last week's winner Powderhorn. Time Warp won easily at Southwell recently but is upped 6lb for his handicap debut while Indrapura will need to step up on his win at Brighton to figure. Firesnake and Il Piccolo Grand have already been beaten in handicaps and look up against it.
