A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Bouncing King, Go Harvey Go and Comber and the narrow vote is given to Go Harvey Go. The selection won well last time out when beating Devils And Dust and although rising in the weights he looks sure to improve for the step up in trip and he is taken to win again. Bouncing King rates the main danger on his latest third behind Minster Abbi but he is rising in the weights for being beaten and he looks vulnerable with this in mind. Comber is another with place claims on his latest fourth behind Otantique but he is another that has had plenty of chances. Of the remainder, Cleopatras Therapy won well last time when beating Jolly Boy but all her best efforts have come on a softer surface while Acuzio is unexposed and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Go Harvey Go.
