Verdict

As uncompetitive as you can get, with a number of largely poor Point-to-Point types in the line up. HAWKHURST has had his troubles over fences for Ben Haslam, and he's basically a major disappointment having cost £200,000 in January 2015, but this looks a suitable opportunity to get off the mark and slowly rebuild both his confidence and career. Haslam won with a similar type at Carlisle on Thursday (The Doorman), and it will probably be Right Of Reply who is the chief threat to Hawkhurst.
  1. Hawkhurst
  2. Right Of Reply
