Verdict
SAMHARRY has been kept in training since making a winning start at Doncaster in July last year. Gelded subsequently, John Gosden’s charge may prove good enough on his return. Lacan and Glendun won over a mile at Kempton on their respective latest starts while Blaze Of Hearts won at Yarmouth and Corked landed a maiden over 1m2f here a fortnight ago. Waarif has been thereabouts at Newcastle recently and Family Fortunes ran well over today’s trip at Kempton in between modest efforts over 7f.
