Verdict
Harry's Bar has 10 victories to his credit, all on the all-weather. He didn't get close on his debut on Turf here a fortnight ago but that should have brought him on. He's A Balter ran 15 times in Australia last year, winning five, while Batwan's last success came in a Longchamp Group 3 in 2020 and he was placed at Group 2 level last year. Durandal was having his first start for over two years when a very impressive winner over the track and trip three weeks ago and, though taking on much better rivals, has race-fitness on his side. MUTAFAWWIG made a winning debut at Doncaster in 2019 and didn't run again until scoring at Kempton two years later. He was badly impeded at the start when odds-on at Chelmsford in September and has the potential to do much better. Ibn Malik, Stone Of Destiny and Urgent Appeal are all well up to this at their best.
