Hadath gets the confident vote to win this seller with St Ivian and The Number rating the main dangers. The selection won a claimer in good style when beating Tag Team last time out. This looks easier and he need only run up to that mark to score. St Ivian rates the main danger on his best form but she was slightly disappointing behind Magic Amour last time out so she can not be put forward with any confidence. The Number is another worthy of respect as he is dropping in grade but his best form is over further and he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Panjandrum is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Hadath who won so well last time out.
