    Verdict

    Back on a more suitable surface and on a track that suits, HATCHER can get back to winning ways as he’s now 3lb lower than when scoring at Southwell last summer. Solar Impulse looks the danger as he probably needed the run at Chepstow earlier this month and is 2lb lower than when second at Doncaster in December. Baby King is 11lb lower than when winning this two years ago but is in the veteran stage now and doesn’t find much off the bridle. Blinkers would need to bring about improvement in Swift Crusador for the bottom weight to figure.
