Verdict

Harrovian made a pleasing debut when fifth behind Zamat at Kelso recently and the form has since been franked by the winner. The gelding by Deploy is one of the lest exposed in the field and he is the TEAMtalk selection to score. Strong Resolve rates the main danger he was a fair third last time out behind the highly regarded Paperprophet and a reproduction of that form will see him go close. Red Nose Lady is also one to consider she was a fair fourth behind Silver Knight last time out and the third in that race Little Sport has since won a couple of races. Kidithou was a fair second in a bumper at Perth when behind Besieged and if he takes to hurdles he could also go close. Of the outsiders Atlantic Crossing could go well at a big price as he has shown a modicum of ability in bumpers and the switch to hurdles is expected to bring out more improvement.
