H Harrison should be closer to GLENRIDDING than on their last meeting but with the latter on such good form he still looks the one to be with in this competitive apprentice handicap while Sands Of Barra now looks well treated. The pick is on the search of a hat-trick after two cosy looking successes which have suggested he's not finished yet. The form from his latest victory has been well advertised by a couple of subsequent winners and with a capable conditional jockey booked, who also has a good record for this yard, his burden looks manageable. There's a six pound weight swing in favour of H Harrison after he found the pick over two lengths too good last time out. Given that he should be in closer order this time and we can at least expect him to grab some prize money again. Sands Of Barra on his best form is now well weighted and has run solidly in his last two starts while Violent Velocity and Maison Dieu are capable on their day but look a little high in the weights. A good competitive end to the day where Glenridding can continue his rich vein of form.
