Verdict

Not a bad prize for the track and it has drawn a relatively competitive field, with HARRY UP taken to score back in handicap company, while Doubtful Sound is much respected. The two clashed in December when Doubtful Sound received 11lbs from the selection and beat him nine lengths, but Jamie Osborne-trained Harry Up benefits from a 19lb turnaround at the weights here. He is in cracking form with a couple of claiming wins of late, but he is very competitive from this mark in handicaps and can complete the hat-trick with the yard red hot. Pawan is 2lbs higher than when winning at Southwell last time, but he clearly prefers it at that track to anywhere else and we will take him on. Wotashirtfull loves it over the minimum trip and is just 2lbs higher than when getting home in front at Great Leighs last month so he has a squeak, while Yungaburra is interesting if backed in his first-time tongue strap. Godfrey Street has a bit to find with the selection on their latest meeting and that selection is Harry Up.
