Verdict
HAWK HIGH has the advantage of a recent outing and it was a good effort too when beaten only a length at Carlisle on his chasing bow. The runner-up has subsequently boosted the form by winning and Tim Easterby’s charge is preferred to Ravenhill Road. The latter sports a tongue-tie for the first time on his reappearance and chasing bow having last been seen in action back in February.
