A M Balding
Yet to place in four starts. Finished 12l behind Lethal Force when fifth of 6 at 8-1 on his latest outing at Bath over 6f (good to soft) last month.
A question mark or two against the majority of these makes for a tricky contest but HAAF A SIXPENCE is worth chancing on his turf debut. He looks a 7f specialist in the making and has shown a good attitude when scoring at Wolverhampton the last twice, latterly when gamely resisting the late thrust of Johnno. The third home has won since and the Haafhd gelding can complete the hat-trick. Three Am Tour looks a definite improver for team Hannon and rates the most likely danger but may just need this. Gabrial's Gift and Shamrocked are next best.
