Verdict

Hawkhill has done well since joining Tim Vaughan, winning at Huntingdon and Southwell. However, the drying ground may not be in his favour and he has to give 8lb to KRUZHLININ. Lightly-raced, the latter had to be driven out to score over a longer trip here last time but the fact that he ran Featherintheattic to a length over this trip at Huntingdon in March suggests he'll have no problem with today's drop in distance. Any market interest in Gordon Elliott's Narjawa would have to be taken seriously while Outrageous Request and Cheatingsideoftown could challenge for a place.
