Hathiq has run twice here and won both times. He hasn't had much racing for his age and deserves a crack at this grade. Urban Beat invariably goes well at this sort of level and has had a nice break but HIT THE BID, who just failed to concede Blue Uluru 7lb in this last year on his return since Meydan in March, follows the same path and can go one better. Ardhoomey has won at this level though hasn't been in the best of form while Chessman prefers another furlong and Richard Hughes' Gold Filigree needs to be at her very best.
