Verdict

Pamak D'Airy usually finds at least one too good nowadays, though has won around here in the past. Hexham fourth King Penda seems to need really fast ground, while veteran Lutin Du Moulin appears on the downgrade and Tears From Heaven was weakening when unseating Henry Brooke at Southwell last month. John Wade's chasers are usually worth following once they strike form and HARRIS HAWK should be no exception. He stayed on strongly to score over C&D earlier in the month and has plenty of scope.
