Verdict

Qeyaadah was due to run yesterday at Doncaster and his stable is struggling for winners at present. HAJJAM never stopped improving last year, goes well fresh and acts on soft going. Danny Tudhope rides the four-year-old in preference to the race-fit Waarif. Tadaawol has run well in a couple of starts at Newcastle this year but is only 1-17 on Turf and still 7lb higher than for his only win. Penny Pot Lane seems best over shorter trips and usually needs a run but Mango Chutney could go well at a price having already won over the course and distance.
