Verdict
ACCORDING TO MARK left the impression he wasn't at his best when going down to an improving, well-bred filly at Pontefract last month, but it was still a fairly useful effort nonetheless and he's worth another chance to open his account up in trip on first start since being gelded. Hatteen is an obvious threat on form and has hopes of staying the longer trip given he's by Lope de Vega and out of a Galileo mare. Count Bezukhov's Curragh win is working out well and he rates a useful prospect.

VerdictConfirmed debut promise in a first-time tongue strap when winning 15-runner maiden at the Curragh (1¼m, good to firm, 10/11) 47 days ago, edging ahead late on. That form is working out and he's much respected under a penalty with further progress on the cards. - 5. HatteenJ: P. J. McDonaldT: Andrew BaldingF: 35-22

VerdictVery green on debut at Newcastle in November and left that effort behind when losing out only by a short-head at Redcar (1¼m) in April, still looking to be learning. Hardly a bad effort when turned over at odds on at Pontefract since and remains capable of better. Has been gelded.

VerdictHas upped his game since switching to handicap company, resuming his progress when edged out by a fellow improver in 1½m event at Newmarket last month. A bit more exposed than some but capable of making presence felt in first-time cheekpieces.
