A typically highly competitive renewal and a 4-timer could be beckoning for the fast-improving HAMMER THE HAMMER who looked a sprinter to follow when dominating from the front at Chester last month. Ruby's Profit did best of those who raced close to the strong pace in the Epsom Dash and could still be underestimated by her mark. She's feared most ahead of handicap debutant Realign who looked destined for better things when routing the opposition in a Salisbury novice last month.
