Hiatus was collared in the dying strides when runner-up at Kempton last week and he merits consideration now turned out quickly before going up 3lb. Preference, however, is for the lightly-raced MIDNIGHTATTHEOASIS, who had to settle for third when a warm order for his handicap debut at Southwell, but strikes as the type who has plenty more to offer. Last-time-out Lingfield winner Sassy Redhead has a career-high mark to overcome, but she can’t be dismissed lightly in her current form.

PLAY SMARTER

A few with chances but HIATUS looks the way to go here racing off the same mark as when an excellent second at Kempton eight days ago. Rossmore Nation also arrives in good nick so is next on the list while in-form duo Sassy Redhead and Midnightattheoasis need factoring in too in a competitive sprint.
