Verdict

HAALICK wasted no time in fulfilling the promise shown last year when winning a Listed event over 7f here on his first start since September. He ended the winning run of Race Day on that occasion with previous dual winner Sea of Flames further behind so the form looks rock-solid and Roger Varian's colt gets the vote. Race Day had earlier beaten subsequent winner Special Season while Cape Speed landed a hat-trick when winning a handicap at Kempton last month and is still improving. Bear Faced has won here and at Dundalk this year but could only manage third in Listed company at Chantilly last week while Bernie's Boy, Yeah Baby Yeah and Beleave all have plenty to find on today's terms.
