We like the look of Hazewind here ahead of Five Years On, Charlie Bear, Here To Me, Moon Legend and, possibly, Bluebok. David Evans sets a poser here by running both Hazewind and Go Yellow. To our way of thinking, they both have chances, with Hazewind having finished a good fourth behind Riska King on this surface over a furlong-and-a-half longer trip last Saturday, and Go Yellow having respectable Turf form from his current mark. However, the former is preferred as the latter lacks a recent run and is unproven on this surface and, also, Kieren Fallon has been booked to ride the former, which we take as a positive sign. Five Years On is another to give respect to, as William Haggas's runner is lightly raced and has yet to race at this trip, but has proven that he acts on Polytrack. Bluebok is also relatively unexposed but we prefer others, while Charlie Bear is one to watch out for in the betting. Here To Me ran a good second in a big field at Warwick last time and Moon Legend will appreciate the return to seven furlongs today following a staying-on Lingfield effort on good to firm over six, but Oh Golly Gosh has a bit to find with Hazewind on recent York form. It is an interesting race of its kind and one that we think will go to Kieren Fallon and Hazewind.
