JenningsBet In Hastings Handicap Stakes

Dandy G Boy shaped with promise when second three starts back and brings both distance and going experience to this assignment, making him a genuine threat off a weight of 135 lb — though consecutive sixth-place finishes last two outings are the obvious concern.

Boubyan has run over today's trip and going before, and a third last time out — with a second four starts back — shows he retains ability at this level despite being winless in recent starts; the main risk is a trainer in distinctly lean form at just 4% over the past fortnight.

Gone Rogue won two starts back and has experience of today's trip and conditions, making him a strong contender from stall 3 off 134 lb; the fourth last time out is the one minor concern, but his rating edge over his rivals marks him as the one to beat.

Danehill Star has been competitive without winning in his last five starts, with one win in his last six, and our rating ranks him fifth of six here. Carrying 131 lb, he faces a stiff ask, though he has run over today's trip and going before.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Kondratiev Wave faces a stiff ask here; he has experience over today's trip and going, returns fit on 17 days' rest, and a second last time out at least suggests he can get competitive.
