SINGAPORE HARBOUR looks fairly treated and is expected to run well. Oliver Sherwood's filly shaped with promise in three runs earlier this year (never shorter than 16/1) and she looks on a fair mark (90) on her run behind the now 126-rated Frosted Grape in July. Her main danger will be recent Exeter winner Northern Lad. AP McCoy has a 38% strike-rate for Jim Best and with no penalty for that conditional jockeys' race win he must go close. Heir To Be was well-backed ahead of his latest run at Worcester but he struggled to make an impact in selling grade despite being well-handicapped, so a bigger threat might be Vacario who has the talent to play a hand if in a going mood. The consistent Rash Moment joins course winner Bollywood on the longer list of dangers.
