Verdict
Hazaz is way clear on official ratings but arrives with question marks. He's not been overly consistent and, more importantly, has yet to venture further than 7f, so this represents a massive step-up in trip. With his best form also delivered on good to firm ground it may be best to look elsewhere. Preference is for MOJAVE who routed his opposition over a mile at Leicester when never in danger. The Dubawi colt seems certain to get the trip and remains open to considerable improvement. Richard Hughes rode a beautiful race to score on Rougemont at Leicester and meets his victim that day, Repeater, once again. Both get this trip and warrant high respect and there should be little between them once again.
