In depth

Verdict

All can be given some sort of chance but HEAD SPACE may defy a 9lb hike in the ratings for an impressive success over a furlong further last time for the in-form Ruth Carr team. The yard has done admirably well with this former Jim Bolger inmate who appears not to be inconvenienced by any type of ground. Hazelrigg last visited the winner's circle back in the autumn of 2010 but is in really good nick at present and it will be fascinating to see how he responds to a first-time hood at the age of seven. He's a live danger. Foxy Music has decent claims on the best of his form this season with similar comments applicable to Mayoman.
