Verdict

HONG KONG HARRY (NAP) made a winning reappearance when scoring over track and trip and has now won three of only four outings so far. Raised only 2lb, Richard Fahey’s charge can confirm superiority with the runner-up Be Proud and continue winning ways. Chookie Dunedin ran well again at Musselburgh having beaten Spartan Fighter at Wetherby before that while Muntadab finished ahead of Three Saints Bay when second at Catterick and can race off the same mark. Hajjam returns to action and goes well here though looks high enough in the weights.
