Verdict

HEDGEINATOR hasn't always been convincing but the introduction of cheekpieces seem to have perked him up and, if he was able to reproduce the form which saw him finish a runner-up in a stronger event over 3m at Sandown last month, this race looks his for the taking. The biggest danger appears to be Jack Snipe who seemed to have benefitted from a change of headgear at Plumpton last time before unseating four out when still leading.
  1. Hedgeinator

  3. It's A Steal
