Verdict

HADA MEN arrives on the back of a couple of runaway victories on the Fibresand at Southwell. The return to Polytrack shouldn't be a problem and Brian Ellison's charge will start a short-price to land his hat trick with an apprentice negating most of a 6lb penalty. Ahlawy would prove a threat if reproducing last month's C&D win but he was beaten out of sight back at this track last time, while Newport Arch could also figure if taking to the surface after a couple of placed efforts at Southwell. Prickles only win in 27 starts came at this track in 2010 and he could run into a place.
