Haku³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 86| CD

11/2

Form: 351-271

Forecasts

Intinso (8/15), Haku (11/2), Nolton Cross (6/1), Approachability (11/1), Dream Harder (12/1), Juan Les Pins (22/1), Frozen (40/1), Al Zaraqaan (50/1), Duc De Kent (80/1)

APPROACHABILITY is returning from a long absence but has been given a chance by the handicapper so could be worth chancing. Intinso has a positive profile and may do better still as a 4-y-o, while Haku enhanced his excellent record here 5 weeks ago and is worth a shot at this level.
