Verdict

Harvest Day came good at Wolverhampton last week and carries 6lb extra though she won by a wide margin and should go well again. Medicii Oro, Watching Spirits and Boomerang Betty are all finding life tough off their current marks though the latter has tumbled down the weights while Joseph O’Brien sends two across from Ireland. Highly Approved is the more exposed and looks no nearer winning but HIGH SUSIE posted a better effort at Dundalk on her recent handicap debut and may find enough improvement to come out best in this.
