Verdict
Hatsaway has gone up 10lb for winning easily at Lingfield but has won off this mark in the past. However, receiving 11lb including apprentices’ allowances, it might be worth sticking with MAX LIEBERMANN who showed a good attitude to get off the mark at Yarmouth recently. Paddy A definitely warrants a mention as last week’s fourth at Leicester was his best so far on Turf and cheekpieces may elicit further improvement. Really Super remains winless but has the ability to figure in a race like this and was placed here last summer. Cape Banjo was third last time at Chepstow but is now 0-13 on Turf.
