In depth
Verdict
Here Comes Harry gets the vote here with River Bailiff and Just Muckin Around rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Top Gale and with the return to this slightly longer trip sure to bring about more improvement he looks the one to be on. River Bailiff rates the main danger on his latest third behind Goblin but he lacks the scope of the selection and is passed over for that reason. Just Muckin Around is another that could go well on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Longstone Lady has conditions to suit and could go well at a price but her overall profile leaves her with a little to find and for the winner we return to Here Comes Harry.
