Verdict
Hawkmeister gets first-time blinkers having disappointed at Lingfield last time. He's sure to be well supported given his connections but LEAR'S ROCK may prove better value. The latter caught the eye making up lots of ground late on at Sandown on his debut and improvement is expected from Ralph Beckett's charge today. Diamond Runner and Playboy Bay finished behind the selection at Sandown and the latter was tailed off at Newcastle subsequently.
