Many of these arrive in good form including Hawaam, who scored over the course and distance last month. The ground was soft that day and Bahamian Sunrise, who was only caught close home, is capable of reversing the form on this quicker going. OUR OYSTERCATCHER was having only his fifth start when scoring at Bath and a 5lb rise looks reasonable. He was earlier just touched off by Gnaad at Sandown but has more scope than the winner and looks capable of taking this. Amazing Grazing has done most of his racing on the all-weather but came good at Hamilton though a 7lb rise makes this tougher. Bellevarde is only 1lb higher than when completing a double on Turf at Lingfield while Machree made all and battled on well at Ripon and can go well again from 4lb higher.
