Verdict

Sandy Thomson and Ryan Mania have been firing in winners right, left and centre in recent weeks so on that basis alone it's difficult to be against the emphatic Sedgefield scorer HASTRUBAL. Despite a subsequent 9lb weights rise he remains low mileage over fences (three starts) and is thought likely to have more improvement in the locker than the thoroughly likeable but exposed Nortonthorpelegend.
