Verdict
Kschessinka can see off Hawaajes and Khalidia in this modestly supported handicap. Willie Haggas' team have been producing plenty of winners from few entries and this filly won well on reappearance at Newbury. Providing that she does not bounce, she looks to be a filly with a future. Hawaajes was easy to back at Haydock but scored emphatically. That probably wasn't the best of races but his attitude was nonetheless likeable. Khalidia hails from an unfashionable yard and while his Doncaster form is hardly earthshattering, there is some room for improvement. Instant Recall has been a little disappointing this term and is vulnerable to lesser exposed types. Mission Man and Mahmoom will need to improve to land this. Kschessinka is duly selected.
