Verdict

HEDAWOOD (2) was very good on debut at Belmont, saluting as favourite by 0.2L. The form out of that race is a bit iffy, but Chris Parnham hops in the saddle now and he maps for a similar run in transit today. This looks a suitable race off the debut win and he can go back-to-back. PERFECT CHANT (1) has been racing in stronger company this campaign and drops right back to a CL1 third-up today. Pike remains in the saddle which is a positive sign and the inside barrier should see her well positioned in the run. Can improve sharply now. KING'S DRAMA (3) scored in a photo finish last start over 6f at Belmont and gets the winkers on for the first time today. Steve Parnham takes the ride and with further improvement expected now, he's an attractive commodity. MANJERI (4) was too speedy form the front last time out and it wouldn't surprise to see him do the same back in trip. SESH (5) looks an improver third-up into the campaign.
