        Verdict

        The progressive HECTOR’S HERE has now won three of his last four outings at the track having scored over track and trip a week ago. Jason Hart could afford to ease him down in the closing stages and still win by over three lengths and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to anchor him in this. Starfighter went close again at Newcastle having won at the same track earlier while International Law found only one too good when last racing over track and trip. Classical Wave makes his handicap debut for new connections after three starts in France last year with his best effort coming on the all-weather at Chantilly.
