Hawks Landing, Young Lorcan and Jack Fuller look the principals in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Hawks Landing. The selection was a good second behind Yes My Lord last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Young Lorcan rates there main danger on his best form and is another that will love the ground but he has often been let down by his jumping and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Jack Fuller won well last time out when beating Bay Island. However this looks more competitive and his penalty may just find him out. Of the remainder Mondial Jack looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price so he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Hawks Landing.
