Breeding: Hawwaam – Cherry Orchard by Horse Chestnut
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He is better than his last start over 1600m on the turf. He steps up to 2000m and should enjoy the extra distance on offer. The son of Hawwaam is in good form at home and with luck in running, he should have a good each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: The form of his penultimate run stands out. Chance.
