In depth
Verdict
Not a strong event by any stretch of the imagination and it should boil down to a match between Stance and Hazim. Henry Cecil's Stance is no superstar but is gradually progressing with experience and shaped well when third behind Highest over this trip at Leicester late last month. Hazim is a well-bred son of Darshaan who looks more than capable of picking up a race of this nature judged on his debut effort when finishing well over 10f at Haydock in a race that is working out well and should appreciate the step up in trip.
