Verdict
This will take some getting and the 650,000gns Hippodrome didn't exactly impress in similar conditions at Gowran. His stable also run the newcomer Milwaukee but experience will probably be the key and HARSH was going on strongly at the finish over slightly shorter on soft ground at Galway. He passed the more experienced Trachonitus inside the final furlong so should have no problems with Jim Bolger's charge but North Dorset looks a potentially nice type on breeding being a half-brother to two-year-old winner Willesee.
