      Verdict

      The progressive HARRY’S BAR landed a hat-trick with a cosy success over course and distance last month and James Fanshawe’s sprinter looks worth sticking with despite a further rise in the weights. Sunsprite found one too good at Ffos Las recently and has a shout on that form while Lord Riddiford won over track and trip back in June with Encore d'Or back in third and is now back on the same mark. Royal Birth has won off higher marks on the all-weather in the past and is preferred to Sparkalot, who has yet to race over the minimum trip.
