Hamza is 7lb higher than when landing a similar grade sprint at Newmarket last month but is not easily dismissed as he beat Gabriel's Lad and Poole Harbour with three more of today's opposition further behind. However, HEERAAT makes more appeal as he scored over the minimum trip here on his latest start with Profile Star, Kool Henry, Last Bid and Towbee behind. His earlier fourth over 6f at Ascot to Mince, who runs in the 2.55 on today's card, is also working out well and he has the beating of Springinmystep on that running. Nassau Storm is making steady progress and scored at Ascot in July while Priceless Jewel has scope for improvement dropped in class.
