Hawk Eye Down (4/1), Se Mo Laoch (9/2), Lacken Bridge (9/2), Don't Let Go (11/2), Rancher Lass (7/1), Witness Of Fashion (8/1), Hand Of The King (8/1), Leader's Choice (12/1), Attalco (25/1)

Verdict

HAWK EYE DOWN can complete a double by taking this conditional jockeys handicap chase. The selection should appreciate underfoot conditions and can record a second career success today. Don't Let Go made a pleasing handicap debut when finishing runner-up at Fairyhouse last month and she can finish second ahead of bottom weight Witness Of Fashion.
