In depth
Verdict
Hasik was uneasy in the market for his Chepstow debut and ran as though in need of the experience but showed more than enough to suggest that, granted normal improvement, he should prove hard to beat at this level. Balerno has looked moderate on his two outings to date and needs to show significant progress while Ice Cracker may need further to show her in best light.
