Verdict

It's still early days for THE HATCHET and, having returned to form when finding just one too good over C&D last month, he gets the nod. Bucephalus will be a big threat if reproducing the form of his penultimate start and Fingal's Hill is another who will have a chance if able to shrug off a below-par last-time-out display.
