In depth
Verdict
Another open affair here with Hawkit, Eastern Faith and Keltic Rainbow all sure to have their supporters but the confident vote goes to Hawkit. Jamie Osborne¿s charge showed enough on his debut when second behind Mrs Pankhurst to suggest he can win a race of this nature. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and he will be hard to beat if he acts on the surface. Eastern Faith rates the main danger he is from a yard in top form andf is taking a big drop in grade so any market confidence should be noted. Keltic Rainbow also showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is another sure to improve but he is bred to be suited by further.Of the remainder Allodarlin is from a top yard and is worthy of respect but we are happy to stick with the unexposed Hawkit.
