HEDGING has proved his ability on quick and testing ground and seemed to win with a little to spare over 6f at Chepstow in a manner indicating a seventh furlong will suit. He's slightly worse off at the weights with the fourth that day, Restore, but looks progressive for his in-form yard and can confirm placings. Restore retains place claims as that Chepstow performance represented a pronounced improvement on previous efforts and he may progress again over the extra furlong. Galahad steps up to 7f for the first time but needs to show more as he has been beaten considerable distances on each start, although ruling out any Fahey runner is a dangerous move at present and he could well progress for the move into nursery company. Stable companion Geego may also do better now tackling handicaps.
