Roedean was engaged to run at Southwell yesterday having landed a double at Wolverhampton before that but, if she should take part, she's likely to find HAAFHD HANDSOME too good anyway. Richard Hannon's charge gets first-time blinkers for today's drop in class and doesn't need to improve much on his placed efforts on the all-weather to take this. Chapellerie won a seller over 6f here last time and should be thereabouts again, but Finalist has plenty to find with the latter on latest running and looks up against it.
Haafhd Handsome 11-4 (9-3) Led 2f, remained prominent, hard ridden to challenge over 2f out, weakened over 1f out, 4th of 5, 3l behind Good Morning Star (9-1) at Lingfield 1m 2f 3yo hcp 0-75 (5) pol in Jan.
Finalist 7-1 (8-7) Held up in rear, never a factor, 7th of 8, 6l behind Chapellerie (8-7) at Lingfield 6f 3yo sell stks (6) pol in Jan.
