In depth

Verdict

Swift Hawk sets a moderate standard rated 72 having gone close on Turf on a couple of occasions. But HARAPPAN has more scope having been sold for 150,000gns last month on the back of a promising debut at Newcastle and joining Iain Jardine’s yard. Royal Max has failed to threaten over hurdles or in bumpers while Renoir was well beaten on his debut on the Flat.
