Verdict
Muwaheb has failed to progress ffrom her Kempton maiden success in April and Sabadilla looks a light of former glories for latest connections after a stint in Dubai so with Ben Ewar out of form, this looks a match between Prompt Payment and Hazim. The latter confirmed debut promise when landing the odds in a Warwick maiden but the form amounts to little and although open to further improvement, TEAMtalk preference is for Prompt Payment. James Fanshawe's charge has proved well suited by give in the ground to lift handicaps at Leicester and over this course and distance last time. The daughter of In The Wings looks capable of further progress and can complete the hat-trick under regular rider, Oscar Urbina.
