In depth

Verdict

Hathlool is turned out again eight days after landing a decent handicap at Leicester, his fourth success since joining Mick Appleby in November. He's gone up 12lb during that period and faces quite a task off joint topweight with Brazen Bolt, both of whom are saddled with a 5lb penalty. The latter is just preferred of the pair in the belief he's better suited to this trip but LIMARTY DREAMS is a three-year-old on the upgrade and may outpoint the duo. Karl Burke's gelding has really found his form over the past couple of months, looks a seven-furlong specialist through and through and there should be room for further progress from a mark of 82. Miss Britain could take a hand if handling this new trip in receipt of weight all round and Danzan and Eeetee could also get involved.
