HAWKSBILL came out on the wrong side of a photo with Sir Paul Ramsey when the pair met at Haydock earlier in the month but Hugo Palmer's gelding can turn the tables, the drop to 7f looking suitable for his enthusiastic style. Sir Paul Ramsey himself is considered after another fine effort at York last week, with the potentially well-treated Witch Hunter and the in-form Yanifer also appealing at each-way prices.
