Verdict
John Steed, She's Smart and Dan Dee Prince were all engaged in the 1.30 here yesterday. HACKMAN travelled strongly for a long way on debut at Newmarket last month and this sharper track may suit. Hugo Palmer also runs Havanarama but he has an even worse draw. Innvincible Friend wasn’t given a hard time at Ripon but Richard Hannon’s newcomer The Camden Colt may be the biggest danger having got the inside berth with Ryan Moore doing the steering.
