Verdict
Hatcher has been second twice over hurdles but it’s fair to say he has not lived up to early expectations and he might be worth taking on again. After scoring at Uttoxeter, MICK MAESTRO was only third under a penalty at Warwick but still showed signs of inexperience that day and has headgear on here to help him concentrate. Yensir only won a Fakenham maiden at the start of the month and that was his first success in 20 career starts but Let's Sway ran well at Ffos Las after winning at Wincanton and shouldn’t be underestimated.
