Verdict

Hiamovi can make the most of his weight concession against very average older opposition, including He's A Rocket, Forzenuff and Baytown Flyer. Yet another desperate affair, and one that can go to the least exposed animal in the line-up, Hiamovi who at the age of three, at least has a bit of time on his side. Robert Cowell's charge responded to first-time blinkers when chasing home Little Biscuit at Southwell last time, and as that was only his eighth career outing, he should improve enough to win at this lowly level. He has struggled when tried over further up to now, so today's trip can give him no excuses. He's A Rocket has suffered for a couple of wins on Turf last April but is starting to drop back down the ratings. Even so, he has shown little of late, and nor has Forzenuff, although he at least does have a low draw. Baytown Flyer has shaped as though the drop back in trip will suit with two fair efforts at Lingfield, and is the only other one worth considering. Hiamovi gets the vote.
