Verdict
The step up to today’s trip at Wincanton suited HARBOUR FORCE (NAP) and he was good value for much more than the narrow winning margin. Neil Mulholland’s charge should make another bold bid. There was still some way to go when Stubborn Logic fell at Warwick recently but he was going well at the time having started favourite while Multigifted is usually thereabouts without winning and found only Itsaboutime too good over track and trip last month. Brown Bear won this in 2017 but has been struggling for some time now.
