William Haggas' 3-y-o VENETIAN LION hasn't looked back since going handicapping and gets a confident vote to complete the hat-trick off a still very workable-looking mark. Hale End wasn't seen to ideal effect when runner-up at Southwell last time and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of in-form duo Walsingham and Perfect Part.
