In depth
Verdict
Here Comes Harry can put his latest mishap behind him and get back to winning ways this time around at the expense of Terrible Tenant and Paddy The Optimist. The selection finished second behind Galtee View over course and distance on his penultimate start and in process was some six lengths in front of Paddy The Optimist who reopposes again this afternoon so if reproducing that effort will take some beating. Terrible Tenant has not won for over a year and has been a touch frustrating of late. He finished fourth at Taunton last time out behind Twentytwosilver which was a fair effort but more is needed here .So for the winner we return to Here Comes Harry.
