Hattons Hill failed to complete on his reappearance but rattled up a five-timer over fences at Hexham earlier this year and has a shout if anywhere near his best. It remains to be seen if Shanroe Street is at his best on his first start since April but he’s not badly treated at the weights while The Orange Rogue is only 3lb higher than when landing a double with a success at Kelso in March. BAILEYS CONCERTO has been competing in better company than this and only faded in the closing stages over 2m4f here last month. A further 3lb drop in the weights should see him go close in this.
