Venetian Lad is having his 24th start on the track and has won three times, but he’s not getting any younger. Benability has gone up 11lb since winning at Huntingdon in March while Raising Hope took a backward step at Stratford in July. FLY HOME HARRY seems to have two ways of running but maybe a change of scenery will encourage him to put his best foot forward again. Killian Moore could get a tune out of Shark Hanlon’s raider Adarenna, who is back on a winning mark, and he looks a danger.
