HAZZARD COUNTY is proving hard to catch right but has an easier opportunity than his last couple of starts in conditions races at Kempton. He gets another chance as he's at least proven over today's distance which could prove a problem for the likes of 6f winners Norville, Piscean and Little Garcon. Pat's Legacy won three times over a mile last year but hasn't raced since October, while Bawaardi and Tamareen have done their winning in lower grades, but Oil Strike is interesting on his debut for Mick Easterby and is worth noting in the betting.
