THE TIMEFORM VIEW If HAWKSEYE VIEW at least matches the form of his recent Newcastle second he will prove a tough nut to crack. Indeed, a last-fence mistake probably cost him that race and a 2lb rise is negligible. Having raised his game when scoring on debut for this yard last month, Natural Ability is an obvious threat and Hazard Collonges also makes some appeal having taken a step forward over this C&D last time.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW VANILLA DANCER was beaten 3 1/4 lengths by Apples Moon at Sedgefield and, now 5lb better off with that rival, she is taken to emerge on top this time. The latter is still very much respected given her progressive profile and she is the clear main danger ahead of Belle Na Bann, who should be sharper following her reappearance spin and has won round here in the past.
