Verdict
Hey Boy, Hatteras and Flying Patriarch are three against the field in another modest affair and the vote is given to Hatteras. The selection was a fair second a couple of runs ago behind Rob Leach granted that was in a seller but he need only run up to that mark to score. Flying Patriarch rates the main danger on his best form but he looked very ungenuine when a well beaten favourite last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Hey Boy is from a yard in form and this looks his easiest assignment to date so he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Three Ships was a fair fourth on his debut behind Ma Yahab and is sure to improve so is another with place claims while Goss Hawk is clearly thought capable of better but his yard remains out of form and for the winner we return to Hatteras.
