Verdict

Whispering Harry was third over track and trip last month, finishing well ahead of Miles Of Sunshine in a race in which Jambobo was pulled up. He'll be near the head of the market for a modest finale while Chance Encounter was chasing the leaders, though under pressure, when falling three out at Wincanton last time. MORATAB is unexposed and ran well for a long way in a better race at Plumpton a couple of weeks ago. The handicapper hasn't done him any favours but he probably has the potential to be better than these. Pagham Belle and Fontwell third Juicy Legend could be the pick of the remainder.
