Verdict

This is the feature event of the afternoon where Hip Hop Harry, Jamestown and Hiawatha look to be the three best prospects with the latter taken to land the spoils. Hiawatha is making his Southwell debut but was most impressive when beating Our Destiny by seven lengths at Wolverhampton last time, and should follow up if adapting to this surface. Hip Hop Harry comes from a top yard and showed tremendous courage to win by a short head at Lingfield last month, and as with the selection if he handles these different underfoot conditions should go close. The lightly weighted Jamestown is an enigmatic performer but does pop up now and again. He showed his time wasn't far away when running a gallant fifth behind Penwell Hill earlier this month. So a tricky contest that could go the way of Hiawatha
