I have a real quandary tomorrow as I really love Hawkeyethenoo and know that were tomorrows race on a straight course he would beat that field by 5 lengths and at a price of 3-1 am sorely tempted. Having watched him on the all weather recently I am convinced however that it does not suit him for a good reason. It's my feeling that he is a horse that needs to pick up to full flight rather than possessing an instant turn of foot and that the short straight encounters at Lingfield are simply not for him as the post comes half a furlong too soon for him. I feel connections have recognised that he is finishing late and stepped him up to 7f which may help but sadly it does not make the straight any longer.
I think I will back him as he is a class above those horses and hope that will compensate for the track not suiting but fear I may be throwing money away.
