Verdict
HAWDYERWHEESHT is dropped in grade and need only reproduce the form of his victory in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in the summer to get back to winning ways. Phase Shift may be the danger with her mare's allowance but, despite recent placed efforts in sellers, she's not easy to win with while Flanagans Field has only beaten one home in his last three starts and hasn't fulfilled early promise. In The Crowd has some ability but rarely uses it and the other pair have a lot to prove at present.
