Verdict
A competitive heat in which Harringay is anticipated to land her maiden at the expense of Emerald Express and Lamp's Return. Henrietta Knight's charge was nicely backed ahead of her most recent run at Huntingdon in a better contest and while she possibly lost her chance through failing to settle early - this is a weaker affair and she must go close. Emerald Express is dropped back in trip following a poor run over 2m3f last time out. A likely front-runner- she does represent a severe danger to our selection if allowed a soft time of it upfront. Lamp's Return is related to plenty of winning hurdlers and chasers. She was a little disappointing in her most recent bumper but she ran well enough on a previous start here to suggest that she has a race within her compass. Opera Hall and Blueberry Ice have to reverse form with the likely market protagonists to be taking a hand in this race. Esplendidos was well held on her first start for Paul Keane but that was in better company and she should be more at home here. Harringay has all the right ticks in the boxes and she looks the percentage call.
