There was a lot to like about the way General Hazard made a winning debut for new connections at Newcastle and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him whilst Russian Reward and Music Major also bring winning form to the table and are hard to rule out too. All that said, the progressive HAIRDRYER has produced two solid efforts since opening his account in good style over this C&D and could prove too tough a nut to crack on his return to this venue.
