HAZAPOUR improved on his debut run when taking a Galway maiden over the extended 1m on soft ground, winning readily in the process and can continue his development here. The Aiden O'Brien-trained Saracen Knight won well last time out but will need to step up again and stablemate Flag Of Honour could be best of the rest.
