Hazzard County looks a decent bet in this handicap and he can score at the main expense of Gongidas and Voodoo Moon. The selection has a good draw and he ran well last time at Lingfield to finish third behind Samarinda. The booking of Paul Hanagan in the saddle looks a positive one and with ground conditions also in his favour he can land the prize. Gongidas finished sixth in a competitive handicap at Ascot last time, and like on that occasion he runs with the visor on again today. Voodoo Moon is proving hard to win with but she does continue to run well and she again looks to hold solid place claims. Tencendur arrives here in good form and could prove best of the rest, but Hazzard County has plenty in his favour and he can get his head in front.
