    Verdict

    Hatton Flight has been found a decent opening to complete his hat-trick. Andrew Balding's progressive charge has been raised a total of 12lbs for winning his last two races and there must be a chance that the handicapper will catch up with him soon but he's had just fifteen career starts and the likelihood is that he has a good bit more left in the locker. His trainer's views give credence to that assertion as he's stated that he's capable of winning a decent prize this season and he should be able to take this prize in his stride before his sights are raised. Multicultural would appear to be a danger as he's been running well over ten furlongs of late and still has time on his side. However, he's proved a frustrating sort since winning his maiden in March of last year and his supporters must be running out of both patience and money. Golden Dagger has shown nothing this year, Charlotte Vale is completely exposed but in fair form whilst Danish Rebel isn't dismissed but has a little to prove at present. They will do well to get the better of a progressive individual from an in-form yard and Hatton Flight can leave them trailing in his slipstream.
