Verdict

A competitive handicap hurdle rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Hamadeenah, Saby, Twentytwosilver and Saif Sareea and we will take a chance on Hamadeenah. The selection won well last time out when defeating Beamish Prince. Granted that was in a claimer but this is not much better. He remains on a fair mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Saby rates the main danger he has been in good form over fences of late and returns to hurdles on a fair mark so is worth noting in the market. Twentytwosilver was a fair fourth behind Beringario last time but that was only four days ago and for that reason he is opposed. Saif Sareea won a seller in good style on her debut but has struggled off this mark of late and may need to drop in the weights before she gets her head back in front. Come Bye is another with place claims but he has had plenty of chances in similar races without taking one so he is overlooked here. Royal Prodigy is from a shrewd yard and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Hamadeenah who, as we say, won well last time out.
