Verdict
This won’t take much winning and DOCTOR HAZE probably wouldn’t need to improve on his second at Stratford raised only a pound with cheekpieces added today. Almost Gold was racing off a 4lb higher mark when second here last season but turned in a shocker at Hexham at the start of the month. Hidden Cargo has climbed the weights without winning and is now 0-15. Pirate Sam is the least exposed but his form over hurdles left a lot to be desired.
