Verdict

HAJJAM was successful on his penultimate outing and can register his second success of the season here having disappointed over an extended 1m last time. The selection races off a 3lb higher mark than for that latest success and can see off Flyboy in this contest with Kirkham, runner-up on his last three outings taken to claim third here.
  1. Hajjam
  2. Flyboy
  3. Kirkham
