Verdict

Lingfield maiden winner Heywood disappointed on his nursery debut at Newcastle last time and may be best watched in a race where the vote goes to Kyshanty, who is preferred to Terry Molloy. The selection is trained by Richard Hannon, who took this 12 months ago and he looks to have strong claims of providing his handler with another winner having shown improved form in a Chepstow nursery last time. Jim Doyle's Cavallo di Ferro is hard to evaluate after just two starts on the Polytrack, while Blue Madeira looks a shade high in the weights at present. Buddies Girl is proving to be expensive to follow and looks the less likely of the two Hannon runners and of more interest may be the lightly raced Terry Molloy. Kyshanty holds solid claims though and he gets the vote.
