In depth

Verdict

Harris goes well here and is clearly much more at home over hurdles. Whats Up Woody is a proven stayer and can race off his chase mark but this looks a big ask for Argent Knight on his handicap debut and Fourth Estate is probably in the handicapper's grip. Floral Spinner was well beaten when attempting a hat-trick at Fontwell but last month's Ayr winner Quel Elite isn't out of this. MINELLA BLISS is a couple of pounds out of the handicap but continues to run well and stamina won't be an issue. He gets the nod as Spirit D'Armor has been chasing and may struggle to get home.
