Verdict

HAAJES won easily on Tuesday and he can score again at the main expense of Billion Dollar Kid and Lochstar. The selection hails from a yard in sparkling form and the manner of his most recent win suggests that his successful sequence might not be over just yet. He beat The Jobber last time but the front two came well clear of the rest and a 6lbs penalty is not likely to anchor him here. Billion Dollar Kid was only beaten a neck last time by Pretty Bonnie at Sandown but he shapes as though he will be better when he races on fast ground. Lochstar has shown his best form so far over 6f, while Valatrix is from a yard in form but she keeps finding one too good.
