Verdict
Recent form figures of I'm Harry demand explanation as his last two wins were achieved in the Channel Islands, although the booking of William Buick suggests connections mean business. He may well be good enough and is clearly in good heart but Jamie Spencer is also a notable booking for Firefly, who showed up well on his penultimate outing in a reasonable Beverley seller. Koo And The Gang is a possible but hasn't won for nearly two years and a chance is taken with AUTUMNUS. Backed into favouritism when disappointing last time, he's been given a nice break and his yard has found better form. He's probably better than he's shown so far and first-time blinkers are now applied. Confidence would be enhanced by market confidence.
