In depth
Verdict
Hathaal won well at Yarmouth last time out under similar conditions when defeating Harnour and he looks a typical improver from the stable and he should go close. Arabie was not beaten that far last time out when sixth in a listed race at York behind Binary File his stable is in better form now and he rates the danger as he will find this grade slightly easier. Flat Spin is another to consider he was a good second behind Where Or When on his latest start and that form has been franked since. Vintage Premium would like more cut in the ground while Beekeeper has to put a disappointing run behind him last time out.
