WITH HINDSIGHT bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories and should make another bold bid raised only 3lb. Wildomar looks a threat as the last time he raced over track and trip he won by three lengths though he's 6lb higher today. Le Notre could also figure as he went close over 1m4f here last time and has more scope than most while Heart Locket went close over today's distance at Haydock in September off a similar mark and could also figure if rediscovering that sort of form.
