GENERAL HAZARD may still be on an upward curve despite his second placed finish at Lingfield last time. He would appear to be an out-and-out hold up performer and was positioned too close to the pace last time. If things drop right for him he's the one to beat. New Agenda was probably better value for his most recent win than the six-pound penalty he carries and if connections can iron out his quirks he could be tough to beat. Polar Forest looks well-handicapped and he is capable of gaining compensation for his recent second over C&D.
