Oulan Bator has two overseas wins to his credit and comes here race fit and with confidence high but the quality of that form is open to conjecture. Time To Regret ran well for a long way at Nottingham before getting bogged down in the heavy ground and has a lively chance here while Emperor¿s Well¿s form tailed off after some good wins earlier in the season, but any market move must be heeded. Fossgate ran respectably at Redcar on his final start last season and is best of the outsiders but the selection is Hazewind. He is the epitome of consistency and started off this season the way he finished off last season, with a genuine run to finish second at Catterick. He deserves a win and Hazewind gets the vote.
