A wide open contest rounds off the card and the progressive Hazelrigg is taken to get the better of Artistic License and Lujiana. The selection won well on his debut when beating All In The Red in a maiden. It is interesting that his shrewd connections now pitch him into a handicap and off what looks a fair mark under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Artistic License rates the main danger on his latest third behind Kinout but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved and his yard have yet to hit form. Lujiana is another that could go well but his best form of late has been over the minimum trip. Gainshare hails from an in-form shrewd yard and if fit after a 171-day break he would have definite place claims so should be watched in the market. Of the others, Tobar Suil Lady is sure to strip fitter here than for her first run of the season while My Kaiser Chief won well over course and distance last time but will need to improve again to win this much more competitive affair. Hazelrigg is taken to win this before going on to better things.
