The fitness of RED HARRY is the determining factor in this. Not seen since running Skate close in a Haydock maiden last September, the Manduro colt boasts by far the best form on offer with his conqueror landing an all-aged handicap at Bath last weekend. Knockamany Bends and The Dream Fast have shown enough to rate each-way players if all eight stand their ground while Go Grazeon has one piece of juvenile form when fourth at Doncaster in a late-season maiden that reads well in the context of this contest, though is another making a belated return to action.
