In depth
Verdict
Von Wessex, Why Harry and Hunipot look the three to concentrate on in this claimer and the confident vote goes to Von Wessex. The selection won well last time out when defeating Monashee Prince and a reproduction of that effort should suffice here with conditions again in his favour. Why Harry rates the main danger he was a fair seventh behind Word Perfect at Ripon last time and is taking a drop in class. Hunipot is another worthy of respect she is an unraced half sister to a five furlong winner as a two-year-old but her stable is not renowned for first time out winners. The remainder that have run have shown very little so for the winner we return to Von Wessex.
