Only just held in an apprentice race last time HIERARCH should go one better with Richard Hughes in the plate. That last race has worked out well with the winner and one further down franking the form and if in the same mood in the grade he has a clear chance. Lady Kent was only just denied in a similar race last time and is one of the best served by the framing of the race so obviously has claims while The Winged Assasin looks one of the better treated and showed a spark of form last time. Another Magic Man is rated the same as the pick but doesn't look particularly on form so Hierarch keeps the vote.
