There are several lightly-raced and unexposed types in this and Hakeem could be anything after making a winning start when easy to back at Yarmouth. Comrade Conrad also made a successful debut at Windsor and nothing went right on a return visit. Meteor Light made a winning reappearance at Nottingham but the second has done nothing for the form since. Evening Hill scored on easy ground at Chepstow last month but this is a much tougher contest. Viking Hoard and Cotinga are worth considering, along with the in-form Rake's Progress, but the Cheveley Park filly INTERWEAVE should be capable of further progress now she’s got her head in front and her half-brother, Bigger And Better, was at his best over this trip.
