Verdict
Hussar Ballad is back on a winning mark and has decent claims in a race like this. Affair is only 2lb higher than when successful over course and distance last year and should give supporters a run for their money. Clenymistra also has form over the track and trip but only won a seller at Ripon last month. HATTAAB is a rare runner on the Flat for Tom George. He is now 0-12 in career starts but there was a bit more promise in a recent fourth at Bath and further step up in distance will suit given he has been placed twice in bumpers.
