Verdict
Jamie Snowdon looks to have found a good opportunity for COLONEL HARRY. The maiden hurdle winner wasn’t disgraced when fourth in the Grade 1 Tolworth at Sandown earlier in the month and can defy a penalty in this company. Artic Row and stablemate High Roller are likely improvers along with both Ffree Pedro and Split The Bill while Dare To Shout is a point-to-point winner debuting under Rules and Caithness is a newcomer to note.
