In depth
Verdict
Petite Margot will set off in search of a four-timer and is fancied to accomplish the feat over Here Comes Harry in a weak contest. Not too many make appeal here and Nigel Twiston-Davies appears to have found a suitable opportunity for Petite Margot to extend her winning sequence. After landing a moderate bumper here at Ludlow, she has been well placed by connections to win a couple of equally mediocre hurdle races, at Towcester and Warwick, and now finds herself humping topweight on her handicap bow. However, this race is so bad that she will not have a better opportunity to keep up the sequence. Here Comes Harry belied odds of 25-1 when scoring on his handicap debut. That was a big improvement on anything that he had shown previously, and he is not guaranteed to repeat it. Cashel Dancer has been disappointing along Killalongford, and Petite Margot has obvious claims.
