Hardwicke Stakes – Sir John Hawkwood £100 EW @ 17/2 BetVictor
This is a horse I really like and he looks a typical Stoute horse. He only won his last race by a head from Hanoverian Baron but it came only 8 days after his win at Chester and on completely different ground. He is versatile when it comes to ground but I feel he is better on a sounder surface. He is unexposed over the trip but I feel we are yet to see the best of him. I think there will be plenty of pace in this race with the likes of Universal, Ekhtihaam and Mount Athos all wanting to be prominent, which could just set it up SJH.
