Verdict
Doctor Haze won a point at Cothelstone in March and looks a nice staying prospect for Kim Bailey. MARLEY FIRTH made a successful debut between the flags at Moira in Ireland and has joined Dan Skelton and though he's a chaser in the making this won't take much winning and he's handed the vote. Hardness showed some potential on the Flat in France but Subcontinent, three times a Flat winner for Godolphin, could find this ground too soft as his victories came on fast going and Polytrack. Togetherness was placed on the level at Newbury last month but impressive bumper winner Lady Mix has disappointed so far over timber.
