In depth
Verdict
The speedy Hawk confirmed previous promise when making all over this course and distance last time and will make a bold bifd to follow up off a 5lb higher mark from a reasonable draw. Mousehole is on a fair mark and has given every sign that he is about to strike form of late although any further rain would negate his chances. Eastern Trumpeter is gradually slipping down the weights and, along with recent Hamilton scorer Xanadu, is another enters calculations. Absent Friends is now 7lb better off for a three-length beating behind Hawk and should get closer while Card Games should be sharper for his recent comeback at Hamilton.
