Verdict
HAYADH drops down in class having gone close in Class 2 company at Redcar on his penultimate start. He still edges this on today’s terms despite conceding plenty of weight and gets the vote. Widaad has also been keeping better company and Oisin Murphy takes over the reins while Delta River and Olivia Mary are more favourably treated than Bounty Pursuit and Arlo's Sunshine.
